Bill of Lading Setup
Overview
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is a freight shipping document that provides a detailed list of shipped goods and serves as a receipt upon delivery. Before creating a Bill of Lading, certain fields need to be set up.
Shipping Agent
When creating or editing a Shipping Agent:
Enter the SCAC code.
The SCAC code will print on the VICS BOL document.
Warehouse
The Address information from the Warehouse is transferred to the Ship-from Address on the BOL.
Scroll down the Warehouse page to the BOL section.
BOL Defaults can be defined here as the default values for all BOLs created from the warehouse.
For VICS BOLs, the UCC is required. This is a 17-digit code consisting of the UCC number, a unique BOL number, and a check digit.
If you do not have a UCC, enter 9 zeros (000000000) in the UCC field.
Item
Define the Shipping Information for each item.
Account
Define the default Freight Terms and any Special BOL Instructions for the Account.
