Carriers represent entities that transport goods from one location to another. They can be actual freight companies (i.e. UPS or Fed Ex) and/or they can represent a delivery method (i.e. Our Truck, Customer Pickup, Transfer in Storage, or UPS-Air). They are used on Inventory transfers and sales order shipments. The purpose of this page is to add, edit, remove, and activate/inactive these records.
