  1. Open the Ship Via Codes form.
  2. Select Actions > New.
  3. Specify this information:
    Code
    Specify up to four characters to identify the shipping company to use for sales orders and purchase orders. This code can also define a special shipping situation, for example, CUP for Customer Pickup or SAD for Sales Delivery.You can define more than one Ship Via code for a particular shipper.
    Description
    Specify a description for the code. This description is displayed on other forms.
    Mode of Transport
    Specify a code for the mode of transport. You can specify up to three characters. This user-defined code identifies the type of transportation used in shipping, for example, Sea or Air.
    Carrier
    Select a carrier for the ship via code: FedEx or UPS.
  4. Save the record.

When you delete a Ship Via code, the system checks to see if the code is in use. If so, an error message displays and you cannot delete the code. Use the Where Used Ship Via Codes form to find where that code is currently used. Then go to the related forms and change the Ship Via code to another valid Ship Via code.

After making the necessary corrections, delete the code.
