Use Item Freight Exemption File (E73)
Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the system excludes items defined in the Working with Freight Exempt Items (WFEI) menu option from freight.
Yes/no field: Select this field if you want the system to exclude items from freight. Any item defined as freight exempt in Working with Freight Exempt Items (WFEI) is not included in the freight calculation. This is helpful if you sell items such as memberships or subscriptions where you would not want to charge the customer for freight.
Eligible freight methods: You can exclude items from freight using these freight methods:
• Dollar chart by offer ($ Chart by Ofr) freight
• Dollar chart by source ($ Chart by Src) freight
• Percentage by source (% Source) freight
• Percentage by ship via ($ Ship VIa) freight
• Freight by order weight (Order Weight) freight
Freight Exempt hierarchy: If the item qualifies for freight exemption (see Use Item Freight Exemption File (E73) Selected?, Eligible Freight Method on Order?, and Item on Order Defined in Work with Freight Exempt Items (WFEI)?), the system uses the following hierarchy to determine how the item is exempt from freight.
1. |
Ship via level: If records exist for the item on the Select Ship Via for Exemption Screen, the item is exempt from freight only for those ship vias selected. The item is excluded from the freight calculation only if the specified ship via is defined on the order header. In addition: • If an offer is defined for the item on the Work with Freight Exempt Items Screen, the item is exempt from freight only for those ship vias selected and if the specified offer is associated with the source code on the order header. • If a source code is defined for the item on the Work with Freight Exempt Items Screen, the item is exempt from freight only for those ship vias selected and if the specified source code is defined on the order header. |
2. |
Offer level: If records do not exist for the item on the Select Ship Via for Exemption Screen, but an offer is defined for the item on the Work with Freight Exempt Items Screen, the item is exempt from freight only if the specified offer is associated with the source code on the order header. |
3. |
Source code level: If records do not exist for the item on the Select Ship Via for Exemption Screen, but a source code is defined for the item on the Work with Freight Exempt Items Screen, the item is exempt from freight only if the specified source code is defined on the order header. |
4. |
Item level: If records do not exist for the item on the Select Ship Via for Exemption Screen, and an offer or source code is not defined for the item on the Work with Freight Exempt Items Screen, then the item is always exempt from freight. |
Ship via additional charges: Any additional charges associated with a ship via, such as service charges or charges for a federal express service, are still added to an order even when the order contains only freight exempt items.
Extra recipient charges: Extra recipient charges are not added to an order if the recipient has only ordered a freight exempt item.
Handling charges: If the Include Handling in Freight Charge Calculation (D77) system control value is selected and a freight exempt item has a handling charge, the handling charge is not included in the freight calculation.
Pick slips: There are no freight charge on a pick slip, even if there are non-freight exempt items on the order, under these conditions:
• the Prorate Freight Charges (D39) system control value is unselected
• the pick slip includes only freight exempt items
• the order uses one of the Eligible Freight Methods for Freight Exemption
Leave this field unselected if you do not want to exclude items defined in the Working with Freight Exempt Items (WFEI) menu option from freight.
