Editing Shipping Modes

< Previous section  |  Table of Contents  |  Index  |  Next section >

You create or modify shipping modes using the shipping mode editor. The usual way to open the editor is to click New Shipping Mode or Edit in the View section of Coding Definitions | Purchase Orders | Shipping Modes.

The shipping mode editor window contains the following:

Details section: Specifies basic information about the shipping mode.

Code: A brief code to identify this record. No two records may have the same code.

Description: A longer description of the shipping mode.

Comments: Any comments you want to associate with the shipping mode.

Purchase Orders section: Shows any purchase orders that use this shipping mode. For more on purchase orders, see Purchase Orders.

Save & New: Saves the current record and sets up the window for you to enter a new record. Fields in the new record will be blank or set to default values.

Save: Saves the current record. The editor window stays open in case you want to make more changes to the same record.

Save & Close: Saves the current record and closes the editor window.

Cancel: Closes the window without saving any changes you've made to the record since the last time you saved. When you Save the record, the Cancel button changes to Close, indicating that you can safely close the window without losing any changes.

Close: Closes the window. This button only appears after you've saved changes with Save or before you've entered any data at all. Otherwise, the button is labeled Cancel.
