Shipping Assistant : Parcel

 

This dialog, accessible from Setup > Preferences > Parcel Home > Shipping Assistant, configures settings regarding the use of the Shipping Assistant. The Shipping Assistant simplifies shipping for you by providing a graphical, step-by-step means of importing, classifying, and packing items originating from source documents. If enabled, it will appear automatically when you import source interface documents into StarShip.

 

All of these options relate to functions that will be available to you when using the Shipping Assistant.
