To open the Add Freight screen, click the Update button on the Parts Order screen for a part order that has a MD (machine down) or FI (fill in) sales order Type.

The Add Freight screen allows you to add freight charges to a sales order. For more information on the Freight screen and the EVIA table, see Setting up FREIGHT and FUEL surcharges.

Note:  Valid Freight charges are set up on the Freight screen.

The following fields appear on the Add Freight screen:

Field Description
Freight Charge The freight charge that applies to the order.
Fuel Surcharge (Shipping Company) To apply a fuel surcharge value, select a company or no charge from the drop down list. Entries in this field are determined by the EVIA table. The value entered in the Fuel Surcharge field does not have to add up to the calculated amount.
Distribution Method The method by which the freight charge and fuel surcharge values (dollars or percentage) from a shipment, are distributed (e.g. by order number, line items, quantity, weight or price).

Line Items The number of line items on the order.
Quantity The number of parts on the order.
Weight The weight of the order.
