If you chose Buyer as a role for the organization, you
can indicate the Buyer requirements for inbound compliance. Inbound
compliance are the conditions the buyer has established for shipping
and routing.
Defining routing parameters
The Routing Parameters for a Buyer consist of routing guides. Routing
Guides are a list of conditions which determine how a shipment
should be routed. A routing guide has a time period for which is effective,
and conditions for when it should be applied. These conditions are
based on Freight Terms and Department.
Defining carrier services
When routing occurs, the shipment is matched against the
routing guidelines. Based on the criteria specified, you select a
carrier service to use.
Defining compliance services parameters
Compliance service parameters describe additional services
that a buyer wants performed on certain items. A few examples are
customization of the items, such as placing a security tag on the
item, adding promotional materials in the item's packaging, or monogramming
the item with a corporate logo.
