1.

During order entry, the system calculates freight by order weight during repricing, the initial and final order accept, and when you change the last line on the order if you do not change its order quantity. The system adds together the weight of all non-ship alone items and ship alone items, regardless of the item's shipper or arrival date. Freight-exempt items (as defined through the Working with Weight Tables for Order Weight (WFTB) menu option) are excluded if the Use Item Freight Exemption File (E73) system control value is selected.

Example: An order includes the following non-ship alone items and ship alone items with different shippers and different arrival dates:

2.

The system determines how many pounds to allocate to each carton, based on the Maximum carton weight defined for the ship via on the order and the value defined in the Extra Weight for Order Weight Freight Method (D85) system control value. If more than one ship via has been defined on the order, the system uses the ship via defined on the order header.

Example:

Maximum carton weight = 30 lbs.

Extra carton weight = 1 lb.

Pounds to allocate per carton = 29 lbs. (30 - 1)

3.

The system then determines how many cartons the items would require to ship.

Note: The actual number of cartons you use to ship these items may differ; these calculations are used for assigning the freight amount to the order only.

Example:

80 lbs. (step 1) divided by 29 lbs. (step 2) = 2 full cartons with a remainder of 22 lbs. in a partial carton

4.

The system then consults the freight table for each full carton, and the final, partial carton, adding the freight amount from the table defined for that weight to the order for each carton. The system includes the extra weight defined in the Extra Weight for Order Weight Freight Method (D85) system control value in each carton weight.
