Delivery Modes

The Delivery Modes setting is used to define the various delivery methods that are used. These can be accessed using 'Paste Special' from the Sales Order, Invoice and Delivery registers.

The 'Delivery Modes: Browse' window lists the available Delivery Modes: double-click to modify or click [New] to create a new item.

Enter a code and a short descriptive text for each Delivery Mode. The code may contain up to five characters, and you may freely mix letters and numbers.

The table can be used to enter various translations of the Delivery Mode text, which will be printed on shipping documentation printed from Orders. Specify a Language in the first column using 'Paste Special' if necessary, and the appropriate translation in the second column. There is no need to enter a row for your home Language.

If a Language has been entered for the Order, that will determine which translation will be printed. If no Language is specified, the text entered in the Comment field will be printed.

You can also set up different versions of documents such as Invoices and Delivery Notes for each Delivery Mode, perhaps incorporating appropriate payment instructions. To do this, enter the Delivery Mode in the Language field when defining documents. Document definition is described here.

Check the Do Not Print Freight Labels box if you do not want Freight Labels to be printed from Deliveries with this Delivery Mode. You can print Freight Labels using the 'Print Freight Labels' function on the Operations menu of a Delivery and using the Freight Labels document in the Stock module.

Confirm the entry by clicking [Save].
