SA Freight Bill Account Setup overview

You can have one or multiple accounts per carrier. You might have one account for your company for Carrier A and a different account for each warehouse in your company for Carrier B.

Freight billing accounts are required for corporate- and warehouse-level freight programs that use portions of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) TD5 additional carrier details segment.

On a purchase order, the Freight Billing Account field is based on other fields. If freight terms for a purchase order indicate that you should be billed for freight, the Freight Billing Account field is updated. The account used is based on your company, or warehouse, and the carrier identified in the Ship Via code. You can modify the default for the freight bill account.

All freight billing accounts are validated against the Ship Via table in SA Table Code Value Setup. Freight billing accounts set up for warehouses are validated against the warehouses set up in Product Warehouse Description Setup.
