Items - Freight Defaults (fmfmd1101m000)
Use this session to view and maintain freight defaults for combinations of item types and item groups. Items and item groups are maintained in the Item Groups (tcmcs0123m000) session and the Item Defaults (tcibd0102m000) session.
If you define freight default values for a given combination of item type and item group, these values are defaulted for items that have this item type and item group. Of course, you can overrule the freight default values for individual items in the Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000) session.
To define freight defaults, first select an item type and an item group. Then, select the appropriate values for the available freight-specific attributes. You can define default values for the following freight-specific attributes:
- Transport type
- Transport means group
- Combination code
- Freight class
- Shape
- Tax Code
