Applying Freight Charges During Shipment
The delivery management and freight calculation features in PeopleSoft Inventory enable you to group items for shipment and apply freight charges. Freight charges can be applied on the Shipping/Issues component or in the shipping processes. The freight feature applies only to sales orders and quotes from PeopleSoft Order Management.
Freight charges can be applied to an order using:
-
Integration to Third-Party Freight Provider: Using PeopleSoft EIPs you can send delivery IDs to a third-party freight provider and receive back freight charges into PeopleSoft. There are multiple ways to configure this interface.
-
Internal PeopleSoft Freight Calculation Using arbitration plans, freight rules, and freight breaks within PeopleSoft Order Management, you can design PeopleSoft to calculate and apply the freight costs to sales orders.
-
Manual Entry of Freight Costs Using the Freight Amount field located on several pages and process pages within PeopleSoft Inventory, you can manually enter freight changes for sales orders.
