The Shipment Terms frame allows you to create and maintain a list of user-defined codes that can be used to identify the types of delivery services used for parts ordered using Purchasing Contracts. Shipment Terms can also be assigned to Price Types.
To create new Ship Terms, select the blank Code field and enter in a new code. This field has a limit of ten characters.
Enter a description for the code to the right in the Description field. This field has a limit of 40 characters.
For example, STND – Standard Delivery, EXP – Express Deliver, OVR – Overnight Delivery.
After the entry is complete, select SAVE. The new Ship Term is available for use on the Purchasing Contracts frame.
You can modify the Description of existing Shipment Terms. After a code is created and saved, you are unable to edit the Code field.
To change a description, select the Description field and enter a new description over the old description. Select SAVE to update the record.
You can delete a Shipment Term provided it is not in use by any other tables in the system. If a Shipment Term is in use and you try to delete it, you will receive an error message.
To delete a code that is not in use, select the Ship Terms row of the code you want to delete to make it active. Select the DELETE button at the top of the frame. The selected row will turn red. Select the SAVE button. The record will be removed from the system and is not available for use.
