Carriers

Enterprise & Corporate Edition Only

To access the Carriers Table select Tables|Back Order Control|Carriers from the main menu.

The Carriers Table allows you to specify carrier codes, names, contact details, comments and delivery zone areas of operation for back orders. If entries are placed in the Carriers Table, CAPITAL examines each sales order or back ordered invoice and attempts to match a carrier code to an assigned delivery zone. If a match is found, the applicable carrier code is then assigned to your back ordered items.
