More About User Definable Fields

Aptean Ship allows you to create User Definable fields at the Item, Order, Packaging, Pallet and Shipment levels. User Definable fields can be mapped to source interface fields in order to import whatever custom field data you wish. You can also use User Definable fields in freight rules, ship via rules, and more.

User Definable Field customization is accessible from Setup > User Definable Fields. No User Definable fields are created by default; however, you can add as many User Definable fields as needed.

Finding User Definable Fields

This section explains where you can find and use Aptean Ship User Definable fields.

Line Item User Definable Fields

These fields display in the Line Item section in the Ship screen, and on the User Fields section for an item in Maintain > Inventory. If mapped to the source interface, they can be populated by documents that support line item level information. They can also be mapped to a fixed value.
