AP freight allocation addons

Enable AP freight allocation by selecting the Enable AP Freight Allocation option in SA Administrator Options-Vendors-Invoice Defaults. When AP freight allocation is enabled, freight terms are required for customers and vendors. Because freight charges can be passed from purchase orders to tied direct orders, freight terms are also required in order entry.

The Freight Terms Type value is associated with a freight term. This freight terms type is used to control how freight charges are assigned to sales orders, purchase orders, and vendor invoices in Distribution SX.e. The Freight Terms Type is set for each freight term record in SA Table Code Value Setup.

The freight and tracking fields in Vendor Invoice Center Entry are processed in Vendor Entry Group Update/Reconcile Invoices Report. Depending on the Freight Terms Type, freight charges can be passed from the purchase order to the sales order for direct orders, populating the actual Freight field and including a freight upcharge from Customer Billing Setup. When sales order lines are tied to multiple purchase orders, and costed together in a single batch, all freight charges are accumulated into a single freight amount on the sales order.
