Ship Vias (SU09)

Ship Via codes are defined in SU09 and assigned to Customers in Maintain Customer Master (SU13/Invoicing). The code assigned to the Customer becomes the default Ship Via code for Sales Orders and Invoices for that Customer. New shipping documents can be printed for selected Ship Via codes and sales can be reported by Ship Via code.

• Note: When TMS is activated in Company Control Initialization (CC00/Packing Station/TMS) and the TMS Server is unavailable, the following message displays: "Unable to retrieve services from TMS. OK". Click OK to close the message window. You will have to set up Ship Vias for the TMS system when service has been restored to TMS.
