Creating Shipping Methods

A shipping method designates the specific method you want to use to ship something, for example, UPS or Federal Express. Shipping methods are used in both the accounts payable and accounts receivable modules.

If you record package tracking information in e-automate, you can request package information from your shipping company’s website directly from e-automate. In order for this functionality to work, you must identify the correct shipping company on your shipping methods.
