Shipping Instruction Definitions
The Shipping Instructions tab consists of a grid with a single detail field, which you can use to define a set of standard Shipping Instruction Definitions, which are most commonly used on the Summary tab of the Customer Service program.
You can access these standardized codes using the Ship Instructions button available on the Customer Service program > Summary tab. The text from the short or long description can be included on a freight bill report or otherwise made available for the driver.
