Freight Terms Maintenance
Freight Terms Maintenance is not directly related to the other freight maintenance functions. Terms are not related to a specific freight list or charge. Instead, they are specified for a particular customer in Customer Data Maintenance (2.1.1), or for a particular sales order, quote, or invoice.
Freight terms determine:
Whether to apply freight charges to a particular order, or specify them in general for a particular customer.
How freight charges are calculated. Freight Term Types lists the six methods for calculating freight charges.
Whether freight amounts update the Sales Freight Accrued and Sales Freight Applied accounts specified in Domain/Account Control (36.9.24).
Note: If you are using Logistics Accounting, freight terms also determine the default logistics charge code and whether accrual is by shipment or line. An additional frame displays in Freight Terms Maintenance for this information.

Freight Term Types
 
Type
Description
Add
Freight is calculated, accrued, and placed on the trailer.
Allow
Freight is calculated, accrued, and shown as a negative amount on the trailer.
Collect
Freight is calculated and placed on the trailer. However, the freight charges are not tracked through the Sales Freight Accrued and the Sales Freight Applied accounts. The customer will pay freight charges directly to the freight carrier when the shipment is delivered.
Include
Freight is calculated, accrued, and added to the item’s unit price (after you exit the order line item screen).
Prepaid
Freight is calculated and tracked through the Sales Freight Accrued and Sales Freight Applied accounts, but not included on the order or customer invoice because it has been prepaid or is already a part of the normal selling price.
Will Call
Freight is not calculated or accrued—the customer is responsible for the shipping arrangements.
By defining freight terms, you can assign your own codes and descriptions to these six types.
