Mode of Transport

Enter the mode of transport (or transport mode) code. This user-defined code identifies the type of transportation used in shipping, for example:

  1. Sea
  2. 2 - Rail
  3. 3 - Road
  4. 4 - Air
  5.  
  6. 5 - Post

Mode of transport codes must be defined on the Ship Via Codes form before they are available for other forms to display and use.

Note:  Only one mode of transport code can be used with each ship via code.

If you define a mode of transport code after trying to use it on another form (such as the Warehouses form, you must close and reopen the other (Warehouses) form before the new code is available from the drop-down list.

Companies in the European Union (EU) should consult EU or Intrastat regulations for an appropriate list of Mode of Transport codes.
