Sales Freight Rate Setup field descriptions
Fields are presented in alphabetical order.
- Freight Rate
-
The freight charged based upon the weight limit designated for this line.
- Over Maximum Rate
-
The amount per pound that is used to calculate the freight if an order’s weight exceeds the maximum weight entered in the Maintain Freight Rates section.
For example: If the maximum weight limit is 100 lbs and the order weight is 120 lbs, the order freight is calculated by multiplying the order weight by the Over Maximum Rate amount.
- Sequence
-
The sequence number associated with a weight limit and rate. You can specify up to 500 sequences.
- Ship Via
-
The method used for shipping orders, such as FedEx or UPS.
- Warehouse
-
The warehouse if the freight rate is warehouse-specific.
- Weight Limit
-
The maximum weight that applies to the freight rate for a sequence. The weight limit represents the maximum limit for a freight rate and each subsequent entry’s range starts with the previous maximum limit entry.
For example, if the weight limit specified for sequence 1 is 50, then all shipments up to 50 lbs are assigned sequence 1 freight rate. If the weight limit specified for sequence 2 is 100, then all shipments between 51-100 pounds are assigned the freight rate for sequence 2. The system validates that each subsequent weight limit is larger than the previous entry. A zero weight entry identifies the end of the table.
- Zone
-
The zone designator that links the rates to a zone and carrier.
