Billing Freight Charges

The internal freight charges that are passed to billing are either the amount estimated at order entry or at shipping time based on your selection on the customer Bill To Options page, which accesses the Bill To Details section of the Order Entry Form page by default. Internal freight charges can be calculated at order entry time and again at shipping time.

If you are using the order value freight charge method, you must select bill at order entry. Then the internal freight charges can be recalculated or overridden up until the time when the first line of the schedule has been shipped.

When calculating internal freight at shipping time, freight charges are captured in the base currency of the inventory business unit that is established on the Inventory Definition - Business Unit Definition page.

The freight terms designate who pays for the freight, either the buyer or seller. The default freight terms appear in the Ship To section of the Shipment Schedules page, but they can be overridden at the order header or schedule level.

The delivery Commit Freight for Billing flag must be set to Yes for OM_Bill to pass the freight charges to Billing. The Commit Freight for Billing flag on the delivery is used to indicate to the system that the freight amounts are ready to be billed and costed.

Note:

For sales orders with freight charges, the freight amount for the total order will be calculated and shown on a separate line.
