This procedure can be used to set up all the transport details at the shipping point, receiving point, and the transport itself.

1. Make sure that all relevant warehouses and their calendars are set up using the Warehousesform ( Inventory management> Setup> Inventory breakdown> Warehouses).

   Note
   The calendar can be set up for all warehouses simultaneously by using the Company informationform.

2. If multisite is activated, make sure that fallback warehouses are associated with the sites. The fallback warehouse is used to calculate the transport time if a site but no warehouse has been specified on the sales order line, see Set up a fallback warehouse for a site.

3. If the receiving point is an address (rather than a warehouse), make sure that the address is set up in the appropriate form, for example, by using the ZIP/postal Codesform ( Basic> Setup> Addresses> ZIP/postal Codes).

4. Make sure that the various forms of transport are set up using the Modes of deliveryform ( Accounts receivable> Setup> Distribution> Modes of delivery).

5. To set up the transport calendar for available pickup and transport days, see Set up the transport calendar.

6. To set up the customer calendar for available receipt days, click Accounts receivable> Customersand select the relevant customer.

7. On the Setuptab, select a calendar from the Receipt calendardrop-down list.
