    Consider Buyer's Routing Guide Both the Buyer and the Enterprise can establish routing guides (rules for shipping), and Economic Shipping parameters (ESP), which control how items are shipped. In some cases only the Buyer organization has established values for these rules. In other cases, only the enterprise has established values for these rules. If neither is set, then Hub rules are used.

    In cases where both the Buyer and the Enterprise have set values for these rules, this setting determines whether to apply the Buyer's routing rules before applying the routing rules of the Enterprise.
