Program SPSF, Ship Via Code Maintenance, is used to add, delete, and maintain ship via codes for all financial enterprises. These codes are used by programs throughout the system to identify ship via methods. You cannot delete codes currently in use.
The standard ship via codes included with the system are those that are used by the following companies in automatic ship software.
* UPS
* Federal Express
* United Stated Post Office
* Airborne
* BAX
* DHL
Miscellaneous codes can be assigned to ship via codes, and when the ship via code is used on a sales order, the miscellaneous code is written to the order. For more information on miscellaneous codes, see program SPMC, Miscellaneous Code Maintenance.
Vendor codes for the carrier can be added to the Ship Via code. When the ship via code is entered in the sales order programs or the service warranty programs, the vendor code will be written to the summary page for the sales order or invoice.
* Vendor codes assigned to ship via codes are used for the Clippership Interface and Connectship / World Ease Interface.
* Vendor codes assigned to ship via codes are also used to determine third party accounts when using the Third Party Shipping Accounts for Shipping Interface feature.

2. If a miscellaneous code is to be assigned to the ship via code, enter the desired miscellaneous code in the Misc Code field.

4. If a vendor is to be assigned to the ship via code, enter the desired vendor code in the Vendor field.
5. In the Inv Ship Via field, enter the ship via code that will be used to charge the customer for freight during invoicing. The vendor for the invoice ship via must be the same as the vendor for this ship via code.

6. In the Shipvia Group field, enter the ship via group to which this ship via code is assigned, for use in batch shipping.

8 Set the ClipperShip flag to on for the ship via codes used with the Clippership Interface.

9 Set the WorldEase flag to on for the ship via codes used with the Connectship / WorldEase Interface.
* When this flag is set to off for a ship via code, sales orders to which the ship via code is assigned cannot be sent to the Connectship / WorldEase Interface when shipping the sales order with program OESC, Shipping Confirmation, or program OESX, Shipping Director.
10 Set the Country Code Len pop-list is to the desired setting. The setting of this pop-list is used to determine what length country code will be sent to the Clippership Interface or Connectship / WorldEase Interface for sales orders that have been assigned the ship via code.
* The Clippership Interface or Connectship / WorldEase Interface will look at the country code assigned to the sales order, and before sending the code to the clipper table, it will check the setting for the ship via code for the desired length. If the length is 2 characters, the 2 character code will be sent for the sales order's country code. If the length is 3 characters, the 3 character code will be sent for the sales order's country code.
