CenterPoint^® Accounting - Shipping Methods

View or Print as PDF

Shipping methods are available to help speed up transaction entry. Set up a description for each of your shipping methods to avoid having to enter that information each time you add an invoice. For example, if you normally ship UPS, you can set that as your default when you create customers and avoid having to enter that information each time.

The combine button allows you to combine all history for the two shipping method and remove one of the shipping method. Note: We recommend you take a backup prior to combining two items as there is not a way to "uncombine" two items.
