Carrier

Carriers are responsible for delivering products to and from your facility, to outside warehouses, to customers, and vendors. Net•Yield allows you to identify the transport carrier on orders, warehouse releases, purchase orders, and planned transfers; it also allows you to track the freight expense allocations in the Freight Reconciliation Report.
