The Ship Via option determines from where the product will be shipped. There are three options available: Grower, Warehouse, and Warehouse Cross-Dock. This article explains each option in detail.
Grower
This option was created for orders that are shipped directly from the vendor to the final customer. This option is available for Prebooks and Standing Orders and you will find it on the edition screen for both options or right when you're creating a new Prebook or Standing Order.
If this option is selected, the system will not take into account the AWB freight, handling, and inbound truck freight costs for the landed cost calculation of the suggested selling price. The system will only consider the flower cost and the GPM.
When the Ship Via grower option is selected, the system will not take into account the Port of Origin or the Vendor Shipping Schedule for calculating the Ship Date. The Ship Date must be the same as the Prebook Truck Date, since the product will be shipped directly to the final customer.
In addition, the vendor will be able to view the following information from the Confirm PO's tab:
Customer Name.
Customer Shipping address.
Customer Code.
This information will be printed on the Shipping Labels and the Purchase Order PDF file.
The system will automatically mark boxes that are sent directly from the Vendor to the Customer as "SW" (Shipped Warehouse) right after they're added to the AWB. You will be able to view these changes under the Tracking > AWB Summary.
Warehouse
Shipping items via warehouse means that these items will be sent from the vendor to any of the importer's warehouse locations; these items will be processed through the inventory and shipped to the final customer from the warehouse. This process doesn't have any special markings on the product, labels or printed documents.
Warehouse Cross-Dock
Ttt
