To Create Ship via Codes for the Integrated Carrier

In MYOB Advanced, you can create multiple ship via codes for an integrated carrier, each based on a service method provided by the carrier and used by your company. You create ship via codes by using the Ship via Codes (CS207500) form. Perform the following steps for each ship via code you define.

To Create a Ship via Code for the Carrier

  1. Open the Ship via Codes (CS207500) form.
  2. Enter the ship via code, which is an alphanumerical string of up to 15 characters. Consider using UPS, or FedEx plus a string indicating the specific service method.
  3. Enter a description of the code.
  4. Select the External Plug-in check box to indicate that the ship via code is associated with an integrated carrier. The elements used for integrated carriers appear on the form.
  5. On the Details tab, do the following:
    • Select the calendar that provides information about this carrier's work hours.
    • Specify the carrier whose service method will be used under this code.
    • Select the service method this code is based on.
    • Make sure the Common Carrier check box is selected.
    • Optional: Select the Confirmation for Each Box Is Required check box to help reduce errors on shipments.
    • Optional: Select the At Least One Package is Required check box if a shipment should have at least one package.
    • In the Tax Category box, select the tax category to be applied to the shipping and handling fees for shipments performed under this code.
    • In the Freight Sales Account box, select the income account to be used to record the freight sales (the shipping and handling fees).

    • In the Freight Expense Account box, select the income account to be used to record the freight expenses.
    • If the Subaccounts feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features form, in the Freight Expense Sub. box, select the subaccount to record the freight expenses.
  6. On the Packages tab, do the following for each of the boxes to be used by this carrier with this service method:
    • Click Add Row on the table toolbar to add a row with information about a box.
    • In the Box ID column, select a box that is used by the carrier with this service method.
