Setting Up Freight Charges
Many companies add freight charges to sales orders and RMAs. When the system calculates freight terms, it takes into account the shipper, ship‑from site, ship-to address, shipment weight, currency, minimum weight, and other factors. Data affecting freight charges is derived from three sources:
• The order
• Customer information
• Freight information entered in the Freight Charges menu
Note: Enabling the optional Logistics Accounting module changes how freight charges are tracked and billed.
Freight Charges Menu (2.20) lists the programs in the Freight Charges menu.

Freight terms determine how shipping costs are displayed on the order. A customer’s freight costs can appear on the order trailer or be added to each line item unit cost.
Once freight lists and terms are defined, assign default lists and terms to customers in Customer Data Maintenance. Each new sales quote or order created for the customer uses these values. Freight list, zone, and class are used to determine the freight charge for an order. The freight zone is based on the ship-to postal code. Freight class is determined by the item sold.
See QAD Sales User Guide for details on how freight is calculated for a sales order.
