8.12.7.1. Shipping Form

Create New Shipping Form

When creating a new Shipping Form, you are presented with the following options:

Form Name

Enter a format name to identify the Shipping Form.

Report

Tip

In the case where you have multiple versions (i.e., grades) of the same-named report definition, it doesn't matter which one you select when setting up a Form. The system will always use the report definition having the highest grade.
