The following inputs control default freight calculation features in Sales Orders:
1. Default Freight and Handling
Indicate whether the Sales Order Entry and Invoice processing programs automatically calculate defaults for freight and handling. If this option is not chosen, FACTS will function as it always has--freight and handling are only calculated during confirmation, and the user must manually choose to calculate them. Choosing this option will cause the order processing programs to calculate and assign the freight amounts without requiring manual intervention by the user. This option also impacts whether freight will be calculated and returned to eCommerce Storefront when users place orders.
In the Quoted Freight Section complete the following:
2. Set Quoted Freight to Calculated in OE
Indicate whether to populate the Quoted Freight field on the footer of Order Entry programs with the calculated freight amount for newly created orders.
Note: Any time in Order Entry when a new document is created, when you click the Done button to access the Footer screen, the system sets the order quoted freight amount to the calculated freight amount if you select the Set Quoted Freight to Calculated in OE checkbox. If you back up to the document and then return to the footer, FACTS again re-sets the order quoted freight amount based on this checkbox. If you had changed the order quoted freight amount manually when first on the footer you must change it again when you re-enter this screen for the change to be effective.
3. Default Billed Freight in Confirmation
Indicate how to determine the default the freight amount used in Confirmation Entry. You can select from:
Q-Order Quoted Freight Amount—this option charges all freight on the first shipment.
C-Invoice Calculated Freight Amount—this option recalculated freight for every invoice.
