Note

You should check to see if a courier code is already in use before making any changes to any existing codes. For example, a lab may use a courier code as the general courier that is used by all customers or is already in use for a specific account. You would not want to change the description for an existing code unless it were to apply to any accounts currently using that code.  For example, the lab may use only one courier code (like M for UPS Ground, Fed Ex, or other) for all accounts. The way to check if a code is in use is to take notice if you are adding or editing. If you are adding, then the code is not being used. If editing, then the code is most likely in use for other accounts.
