Auto-Freight

Click this button to have the system perform best-way freight calculation for an externally-freighted delivery and perform the internal freight calculation for an internally-freighted delivery. The freight is assigned to the delivery depending on the freight calculation performed.

Freight Committed for Billing

Select this check box to indicate that the freight on this delivery is ready to be processed by PeopleSoft Billing and by PeopleSoft Cost Management. If this check box has already been checked then the freight on this delivery is ready to be processed or has been processed by PeopleSoft Billing and Cost Management. This check box sets the value in the Commit Freight for Billing field of the IN_DELIVERY table.

Freight Rollup

Select an option to determine which freight amounts to be used. This option applies to both internal and external freight calculations as well as to manual freight entered at the package or shipping container levels. Freight amounts can be received from the external third-party freight system at the delivery-level or at a lower-level. The options are:

  • Delivery: Receive the delivery-level freight amounts from the external third-party freight system or the internal PeopleSoft freight calculator. This amount is stored at the delivery level in the PeopleSoft delivery ID. For the internal PeopleSoft freight calculator you must select this option since the internal system only calculates freight at the delivery level.

  • Rollup: Receive the freight amounts from the external third-party freight system that are stored at the package or shipping container levels. You could manually enter freight amounts at the package or container level. The PeopleSoft system combines all of the freight amounts for every package and shipping container within the delivery and stores the total at the delivery level in the PeopleSoft delivery ID.

Depending on your external third-party freight system, freight amounts could be received at the delivery-level, shipping container level, package level, or all levels.

See Receiving Freight Charges.

Reverse Freight

Click this button to reverse the post-ship actions for the delivery, including clearing out any tracking numbers and freight amounts. Certain restrictions apply when attempting to reverse the Complete Deliveries and Commit Freight for Billing post-ship actions. If any demand lines for the delivery have already been depleted, the complete deliveries post-ship action cannot be reversed. If any freight amount for the delivery has already been sent to PeopleSoft Billing or PeopleSoft Cost Management, then the commit freight for billing post-ship action cannot be reversed.

Freight Overrides group box

Click the Expand Section icon to display the Freight Overrides group box. Use this group box to change freight settings for this delivery before calculating freight.

Field or Control

Description

Freight Terms

Enter a freight terms code to override the default freight terms code. This override value is applied to the entire delivery.

The freight terms code determines whether the buyer or the seller pays the freight. If the buyer pays the freight, then freight charges are passed to PeopleSoft Billing. If the seller pays the freight, then charges do not pass to PeopleSoft Billing. Keep in mind that the Freight Bill Type field determines which freight amounts are passed to PeopleSoft Billing; the amounts calculated at order entry or the amounts calculated during shipping.

Freight Charge Method

Determines how freight charges, received from the external third-party freight system or the internal PeopleSoft freight calculator, are allocated to the order-level. The freight amount is initially stored at the delivery-level in the PeopleSoft delivery ID and then prorated to the order level. You have four options: Order Quantity, Order Value, Volume, and Weight.

See Applying Freight Charges to the Order Level.

Freight Type

View or change the freight type code to be used by the external third-party freight system. Freight types are defined at the SetID level and are placed on the header level of the outbound message to the third-party provider. The freight type is also used to derive the correct service definition to send with the outbound message. Entering a value here helps to limit the values displayed for the Freight Service Definition field in this group box.

For more information about freight type codes, see Setting Up External Third-Party Freight Charges.

Freight Service Definition

View or override the freight service definition for this delivery.

The freight service definition provides a way to cross-reference the third-party freight service with the PeopleSoft carrier and ship-via combinations. The Automated Service Option check box on the Setup Fulfillment- Delivery/Freight page determines if this PeopleSoft Inventory business unit uses the freight service definition with the third-party integration. Some third-party providers require it. Freight service definitions are defined at the SetID level using the Maintain Freight Services page. The freight service definition code is based on the services provided by the third-party provider. Each freight service definition is associated with a combination of carrier ID, ship via code, and freight type in the PeopleSoft system.

See Setting Up External Third-Party Freight Charges.
