When a carrier is...
When a carrier is setup is there any way to change the short name to match the description.
I think yes you can do it but
I think yes you can do it but for only one shipping method under one carreier/short name
Short name is the FREIGHT_CODE and non editable field after saving it for first time.Its a header level value.
Under short name you define many shipping methods - line level values,
Carrier name/shipping method is derived from it. But you can manually update it. So for the first shipping method you can have the same name for shipping method and short name.
