New features added, version 7.5.3, 8.1
Program VESM, Third Party Vendor Maintenance, is used to enter third party accounts for shipping vendors. These accounts can be assigned to other vendors for returning products to vendors with program RTVM, Return to Vendor Maintenance.
Vendor third party accounts can be ship via group specific or ship via code specific. When a third party account is assigned to a ship via group, it will be applied to all ship via codes assigned to that ship via group in program SPSF, Ship Via Code Maintenance
* Third party accounts assigned to vendors prevent freight charges from being charged to the vendor during shipping using the Clippership feature in program RTVM, Return to Vendor Maintenance.
* During shipping with Clippership, the account information entered in this program is transferred to the Clippership software.
* For more information, see the Third Party Shipping Accounts for Shipping Interfaces section.
