Shipping Instructions

The shipping instructions code describes what type of shipment is to be used for delivering purchased goods.

When a purchase order is created during Purchase Order Maintenance, the initial shipping instructions code is established as the default constant for each vendor.  This value can be manually overridden by the user with another valid value on the Reference File.

The default value can be updated using the Vendor Master File Maintenance conversation.

The shipping instruction code has no impact on system processing.

Considerations

Examples of valid shipment instructions may be:

·     Ship by interstate trucking

·     Ship by rail

·     Customer pickup
