Freight
On the Customer Orders form, enter the amount of freight to be applied to the next invoice in the Freight field. This amount is distributed to the General Ledger (G/L) Freight account if Accounts Receivable is installed.
When shipping a customer order at the Order Shipping form, this field appears on the Edit Freight Charges form accessed by selecting . From here, a shipping clerk can update the Freight field on the Customer Orders form without leaving the Order Shipping form. The amount entered here overrides any amount already entered into the Freight field.
Caution:
The freight amount is checked to determine if the
customer credit limit has been exceeded. If it is exceeded:
- The customer order is placed on credit hold and therefore cannot be shipped.
- The Customer Order Credit Hold check box on the Customer Orders form is selected.
- The credit hold's Reason field on the Customer Orders form defaults to the Limit Exceeded Credit Hold Reason field on the Accounts Receivable Parameters form.
- The credit hold's Date field on the Customer Orders form defaults to the current date.
- The credit hold's User field on the Customer Orders form defaults to the user performing the shipping activity.
