Shipment Type Management

This screen organizes the shipping methods you use again and again into shipment types in advance. If you set the lead time, cutoff time, and available shipping days for each type, the same criteria are applied consistently every time you register a shipment.

Screen layout

The first Shipment Type Management screen lists the registered shipment types. Set conditions and a registration date period in the search area at the top to find the type you want.
