Bill of lading

A bill of lading is a document that acknowledges receipt of goods. It can also serve as a contract for the transport of cargo. The Sales Entry Processing Bill of Lading Report prints bills of lading for Stock Orders (SO), Blanket Releases (BR), or Counter Sales (CS). Any line Direct Orders (DO) on SO or CS orders are not included because they are physically shipped from the vendor, not your warehouse. Orders containing only line DOs are skipped. The orders must be in Stage 3 (Shipped) or higher before bills of lading can be printed.

The shipto address on the sales order header is considered the delivery site and is printed on the bill of lading. Your warehouse is considered the ship point and shipper, even if an alternate warehouse was used to pick the order. The weight of each product, from the Product Setup record, is listed on the bill of lading. The customer is billed for the freight charges that are calculated from the actual weight. The number of packages and package ID from the Sales Shipping Feedback Entry header are included on the bill of lading.

If the order is a COD order, COD addons are not included in the order totals.
