The following fields are calculated based on data entered on the Items tab of the Sales Order and the Product Info tab of the Product record. In order to make changes to these numbers, you will need to change the parent records that this data is pulled from:

The Carrier is the deliverer of the shipment. There are 2 methods to enter this information:

- You can also enter this information manually if you don't want to enter the Vendor into your system.
