Freight charges now processed as a credit card transaction during shipping

When sales orders tendered by credit card are shipped in Sales Entry Shipping Feedback or through a third-party shipping application, any additional freight charges are now tendered in full and processed immediately as an additional credit card AUTH transaction if the original order was tendered in full with an AUTH transaction for the shipped amount. This greatly speeds up the process of applying freight charges to an order during shipping, whether you are using standard shipping or are integrated to a third-party shipping application.

Previously, an AUTH transaction was created for freight charges in CenPOS that required processing at end of day as part of a batch process when the Customer Credit Card Manager Report was run. This placed the order on hold and delayed tendering and shipping, and invoice processing until the transaction was authorized.

If the credit card AUTH transaction fails, the order is tendered in full in Sales Entry Shipping Feedback, but is placed on hold. The warehouse can hold the shipment until your back office personnel are able to access the order in Sales Credit Release Inquiry or Sales Order Entry-Maintain and resolve the tendering issue. A sales order on hold cannot be shipped in Sales Entry Shipping Feedback or a third-party shipping application.
