Settings on the freight agreement header (PPS100)

• The 'Distribution level' sets at which transaction level the freight cost should be distributed. The freight cost can be distributed at delivery line level or delivery line and freight cost element level. The transaction level cannot be changed after the freight cost elements are created.
• The 'Freight distribution unit type' sets which unit that should be used in the distribution of the calculated freight cost. For distribution level 1 the distribution unit type is retrieved from the freight agreement header. For distribution level 2 the distribution unit type is retrieved from each freight cost element. The freight distribution unit type cannot be changed after the cost elements are created.
• The 'Auto distribution at issue' sets whether the calculated freight cost values of the shipment or delivery should be automatically distributed or not.
• If the freight rate aggregation level is 1 (shipment), then this field determines whether the distribution will be automatically triggered after the final calculation of freight cost when the shipment is reported as issued.
• If the freight agreement level is 2 (delivery), then this field determines whether the distribution will be automatically triggered after the final calculation of freight cost when the delivery is reported as issued.
• If the transaction is an inbound delivery, derived from a PO, then this parameter determines whether a distribution will be automatically triggered after the final calculation of freight costs has been performed when goods receipt is reported.

Settings on the freight cost element (PPS105)

The 'Freight distribution unit type' indicates the unit that should be used in the distribution of calculated freight cost. For distribution level 1 the distribution unit type is retrieved from the freight agreement header. For distribution level 2 the distribution unit type is retrieved from each freight cost element. You cannot change the unit after the freight cost elements are created.
