SECTION 1.5.7B - FREIGHT
ZONES
USAGE: This option is only available for certain
installations. It is used for setting up the zonal freight charges. This is
then used in Debtor Invoicing to automatically assign a freight charge based on
the Freight Zone assigned to the Debtor and the value of the Sales Order.
DISCUSSION: When the program starts, the following screen is
displayed.
There are 3 columns of fields. Each row represents a
Freight Zone (as assigned to each Debtor). This normally represents a distance
from major freight depots. The values A to F are assigned via DEBTOR MAINTENANCE (see SECTION
1.). The column labelled ORDER
VALUE allows
you to enter the break points for the total value of the Sales-Order (less
freight and tax). The column labelled FREIGHT
VALUE will be
applied to the order automatically. Note that ZONE G
is always zero freight.
When you have finished entering the fields, press <F10> and answer Y for the update. The file
will then be rewritten. The changes will not take effect for anyone already in
the SALES ORDER program. They will have to exit to the menu and re-enter
the program.
