MoversSuite Administration > International > Port

 

The Port Setup defines values available through the port fields within the Shipping Information tab. Specifically, this setup provides options to the following fields:

These records are also referenced by Point to Point Rating and are included in data exchange with external applications, such as UniGroup International. NOTE:  A script titled InternationalPorts.sql is available through the upgrade process that verifies that all codes are established on your system.
