Field Description
Carrier Service Select the carrier service for which you are configuring a pickup schedule.
Effective From Date Select the date on which the pickup schedule becomes effective. If you do not specify a start date, the system assumes that the pickup schedule has already started.
Effective To Date Select the date on which the pickup schedule ends. If you do not specify an end date, the pickup schedule is in effect forever. Ensure that you specify a date range that is not already in use by another carrier pickup schedule. For example, if a carrier pickup schedule has a date range of January through June, you cannot specify a date range of May through July for a different schedule.
