12.      In the lower section of the window you will notice the Delivery Service Code grid. Use this grid for those suppliers that require a code to identify the delivery service; for example, XX for Next Day Pre 10, XY for Next Day Pre 12. Select the Supplier from the drop down list and enter the delivery service code in the adjacent box. Please note that the suppliers listed are those that have an EDI link active.
