Manage Ports in Multilocation Companies

Since the system In the case of multilocation companies, the system allows to manage the transit days per each port on a per-location basis.

Users can adjust the days of transit from the ports to each individual location depending on the length of time it takes for the product to arrive.

Instead of having a standard time of transit between ports and locations, each location will have access to set their respective dates.

Also, the carriers will be chosen depending on the predetermined information of each vendor on a per-day basis; for this feature to be available, the Inbound Truck Freight must be enabled.

This feature will be reflected on the PO screens when the users enter the vendor and ship date by automatically suggesting the carrier on screen according to the settings already configured within the system.
