You can view and edit these account numbers from the customer or from the sales order.

You can then add a carrier customer account number for each delivery location. This allows you to have several carrier customer accounts for a single customer.

titleNote
  • The system uses the most-specific record configuration. 
  • Address is more specific than account.
  • If you have two records set for a customer, one with a delivery location and one without, the system uses the record with the delivery location for that customer each time. 


Sales Order

You can view and/or edit the Carrier customer account number in two places on the Sales order details form:

  • Sales order header section in Lines view
  • Transportation section in the Header view
