Freight Terms

Use the Freight Terms function to set up and maintain the freight terms used in the AR and SO shipping processes.

To create a new freight term:

1. Click the New button, on the toolbar, to open a blank freight term record.
2. Enter a new freight term in the Description field.
3. Select whether the freight is paid by the shipper, the receiver, or by a third party in the Freight Paid By field.

4. Select the Auto option if you want the freight cost to be updated automatically from the shipping system. Select the Manual option if you prefer to enter the freight cost manually in the Totals tab of the sales order, which will update the Freight field on the sales order.

5. Select a Freight Adjust Type, either percent or amount. This field is used in calculating the Freight on the Totals tab of the sales order.
6. Enter a Freight Adjust Amount. This is the amount that will be added to the Freight field on the Totals tab of the sales order.
7. Click the Save button, on the toolbar, to save the new shipper.
