Defining Freight Carriers
A freight carrier is a commercial company used for internal transfers between organizations, as well as shipments to and from customers and suppliers. You must associate a general ledger account with each carrier to collect costs associated with using this carrier. You assign a carrier to each inter-organization transaction.
To define a freight carrier:
2. Enter a unique name for the freight carrier.
3. Choose the general ledger distribution account that collects the costs associated with using this carrier.
You use this account when you perform an inter-organization transfer and specify freight charges.
To make a freight carrier inactive:
- Enter the date after which the freight carrier becomes inactive.
After this date, you can no longer assign the freight carrier to any function.
