Shipping
Methodology
In
M.O.M., a shipping method is any particular type of service used to
transport packages to your customers. By way of illustration,
consider the United Parcel Service. UPS has seven shipping methods:
Standard-Ground (Residential), Standard-Ground (Commercial),
Three-day Select, Second-Day Air Parcel, Second-Day Air Letter,
Next Day Air Parcel, and Next Day Air Letter. So, for UPS there is
one carrier, but seven (7) separate shipping methods, each one
which must be maintained using Maintain Shipping Methods.
To
save you time, M.O.M. comes with pre-set shipping methods for the
most frequently used carriers. Additional shipping methods can be
set up if they are required. You can print a list of all of the
codes by selecting the Listing sub-menu on the Reports menu. Select
Shipping Methods on the Listing sub-menu to print a list of all the
shipping methods in M.O.M..
