System Data Ports
Table Of Contents
The Ports screen is used to maintain a list of ports, harbours and airports that your goods are shipped from and delivered to. While setting up ports is not mandatory, it greatly enhances the functionality of the Consignments module by allowing accurate tracking of shipment origins and destinations.
Ports can be used for both sea freight and air freight movements, helping provide greater visibility throughout the consignment process.
