Freight Entry (SOE410)

Use this program to enter orders into the freight manifest system.

Each order you create displays on the manifest when you print it. You should enter orders by sales order number or consignee and ship via. In other words, enter all the packages to the same address using the same ship via on the same freight entry (this saves time and reduces errors in entering header information).

The system stores default zones in both the Customer File and the Ship-To File. During header entry the program displays the latest default zone, the entered zone if any, and the zone calculated by the zip code. You must select the correct zone. NOTE: UPS has different zones for rural and urban Alaska.

Freight orders can be entered for any warehouse. Keep in mind that the shipper number is determined by the warehouse (stored in the Warehouse File), and the charges are based on the zone, which for ground service, is also warehouse dependent.

The Freight Entry Screen consists of two sections. The upper portion of the screen is called the header portion where the customer number, ship via, and department are entered. The lower portion is called the line-item portion where each package, weight, value, etc. is entered. During the entry of an order, the user has the option of changing, adding to, removing line items from, or deleting the order at any time.

These features are available in the Freight Entry.
