Authorize Only Merchandise for Drop Ship (C92)

Purpose: Use this screen to define how to authorize charges for drop ship items.

Brokered order: The system also evaluates the setting of this system control value when performing authorization for a brokered order; see Brokered Backorders.

Yes/no field: Select this field to authorize the merchandise amount and associated tax amount on a drop ship pick slip or a drop ship purchase order. The system charges the freight amount and any handling (additional charges) to the regular pick associated with the order.

Unselect this field to authorize the merchandise amount and any associated tax amount on a drop ship pick slip or drop ship purchase order. The authorization amount for the drop ship pick/order also includes the freight amount and any handling (additional charges) on the order.

Recommended setting: If you generate the drop ship pick/order before you generate the regular pick associated with the order, it is possible for the system to charge the full freight amount and handling amount to both the drop ship pick/order and the regular pick. To avoid charging the full freight amount and handling amount on a drop ship pick/order AND the associated regular pick, select this system control value. Note, however, that if you select this system control value and an order contains only drop ship items, the amount to authorize for the drop ship pick/order will not include any freight or handling charges defined on the order.

Prorate Freight Charges (D39): The table below explains how the system applies freight charges, based on the setting of the Authorize Only Merchandise for Drop Ship Picks (C92) and Prorate Freight Charges (D39) system control values.
