Defining freight codes (BL/DST)

Freight codes are used in the Billing and Order Entry applications. You can use freight codes with orders and identify a general ledger accounting unit, account, and sub-account.

You can attach freight codes to a purchase order add-on charge code. When you specify a create PO or drop ship order and that freight code is used on the order, a corresponding purchase order add-on charge is generated on the purchase order for a penny. You can then change the penny to the purchase order add-on charge amount.
