Shipping methods

A shipping method is the specific way that you transport goods, such as UPS, FedEx, or Hand deliver.

To find your shipping methods, go to Accounts Receivable > Setup > More > Shipping methods. If you do not see this list, see your system administrator to add it to your application.

For multi-entity shared companies with multiple base currencies: We recommend that you create shipping methods at the top level to be shared across all the entities. However, you can create shipping methods in an entity so they are restricted to that entity. If you create them in an entity, use a naming convention that differentiates them at the top level.
