An Order Shipments record tracks the details about a particular customer shipment and how the system calculated shipping charges. See Managing Shipping Charges for information on how Aptify calculates charges for and tracks order shipments.
General Tab
Ship Type (required)
The shipment type for this order shipment. Note that a user can specify a shipment type at the order line level that is different from the shipment type at the order level. This field links to the Shipment Types service.
Ship Tracking Num
If the order contains multiple shipments and each shipment has its own tracking number, you can specify a particular shipment's tracking number in this field. (There is a Tracking # field on the Orders record's Shipping tab, but that only applies if the order has one shipment.)
Cust Shipping Acc Num
If the order contains multiple shipments and the customer has provided a different account number for each shipment, you can specify a particular shipment's customer shipping account number in this field. (There is a Cust. Ship Acct# Number field on the Orders record's Shipping tab, but that only applies if the order has one shipment.)
Override Shipping Calc (read-only)
