This is the carrier normally used to transport the goods to the customer delivery address. It will be used at the time of the shipment to establish the delivery cost calculation. The carrier is also indicated on the order line, when the products are deliverable products. You (or carriers themselves) can modify this information on order lines if the delivery mode of the order is not Complete.
If you modify this information when order lines already exist, a message displays and suggests that you copy this modification to the order lines.
Inter-company specificities icon: In the case of an inter-company or inter-site order generated from a purchase order, the carrier is initialized by the carrier entered on the purchase order if the carrier is not entered for the ship-to customer.
