Use this routine to specify default delivery charge amounts to appear on sales orders for selected products being delivered to selected zip codes.  

To create a default delivery charge, specify a zip code and one or more products, or just a zip code. Then, whenever the selected zip code/product combination appears on an order, the program defaults the delivery charge you specify here into the Delivery Charge field in the sales order entry routine. Order-entry searches for a delivery charge using the following hierarchy and defaults the first one found:

1. Product

2. Product Group

3. Product Category

4. Zip Code

You can specify products by any of the following "file types":

• individual product

• product group

• product category

Once you specify a zip code/product combination in this routine, the existing delivery charge (if any) displays.  If the Delivery Charge field contains an amount that has already been specified for another zip code (or zip code/product combination), a prompt appears with the option to edit the delivery charge for all found to share the same delivery charge.  If you say Yes, " ... " appears in the Zip Code/Postal Code field, indicating multiple codes are selected for editing.  To view and/or edit the list of selected codes, click on the Action button at the Zip Code/Postal Code field.  To edit only the current zip code, answer No to the prompt.
