The information within the City Dispatch Check-In Pickups Grid and Deliveries Grid are populated based on Freight Bill information from the Customer Service program. One feature to note, however, is that by double-clicking the 'Bill Number' field, you will open an instance of the Customer Service program, similar to the functionality of the 'View Freight Bill' option above. One difference between the pickups grid and the deliveries grid is that user fields on the freight bill in the pickups grid are editable.
