How to Enable Multiple Shipping Routes and Line-Item Shipping in NetSuite
NetSuite's Multiple Shipping Routes feature allows specifying shipping methods at the line item level, providing granular control over order fulfillment.
Short answer
To enable the ability to specify shipping methods at the individual line item level within transactions, activate the Multiple Shipping Routes feature in NetSuite. This configuration moves the shipping method selection from the transaction header to each line item, offering enhanced flexibility for complex order shipments.
Scenario
A NetSuite user needs to assign different shipping methods to various items within a single sales order or transaction. The standard NetSuite setup typically applies one shipping method to the entire transaction, which does not meet the requirement for granular, line-item specific shipping.
Solution
To enable multiple shipping routes and manage shipping methods at the line item level within NetSuite transactions, follow these steps:
Navigate to Setup > Company > Enable Features.
Select the 'Transactions' subtab.
Under the 'Shipping & Receiving' section, check the box next to 'Multiple Shipping Routes'.
Save the changes to enable the feature.Once enabled, the shipping method field will appear at the line item level on relevant transactions, allowing users to specify distinct shipping options for each item.
