=====Chapter 9: Ship-Via=====

====Introduction====
The Ship-Via selection lets you maintain a list of standard codes for the carriers you use to ship your merchandise (e.g. A/F for shipping Air Freight). The purpose is to minimize keystrokes needed when entering invoices.

If you have specified (in Control Information) that you do not use ship-via information, **then this chapter does not apply to you.**

====Assigning a Ship-Via Code====
You can optionally assign a default ship-via code to a customer by clicking the “Edit” button next to a chosen customer in the Customer Find customer list and choosing a “Ship Type” from the pull down menu.

**Note:** Shipper ID’s can be added and changed in the Shipping Carriers menu under **Rules Setup > Maintenance** (the information entered in the Carrier and Price Type fields will appear as the “Shipper Id”).

You can choose __Add New Shipper Rate__ to create a new ship-via code, or you can choose __Edit__ to change an existing code. If you choose to make a new code, the following screen appears:
