Hello everyone,

I'm working on P2P process which is integrated with Transportation management module and Landed cost module.

While configuring for Transportation management, there is a term "Shipping carrier". I wonder what is the difference between shipping carrier and shipping company (Vendor set up).

In Shipping carrier set up, vendor account can be blank. So, how is cost associated with transportation recorded for a specific shipping carrier if we did not declare the vendor account.

We also have two Shipping company when setting up vendor account: One is an option of Shipping type, one is the third field of last column. What do they means?
