Freight Price Codes


System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> Operations Tab -> Rental Rates & Pricing -> Freight Price Codes

Special rates for freight can be maintained in this Freight Price Codes window in the "Rental Rates & Pricing" parameters on the Operations tab of the Configure System Settings.
An operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the Operations - Freight Price Codes in order to access this table.

Freight Codes can be setup for product groups with special delivery/pickup rates to be given to specified customers.
For example special Freight Price Codes could be required for contractors.
Once setup for the relevant product groups, the freight codes can be assigned to customers in the "Additional Information" window of Customer Information, and/or to divisions in the Divisional Delivery/Pickup Parameters.

If a customer should always get free delivery and pickup then setup a Freight Price Code for free delivery/pickup, including all groups, with no charge in each of the delivery and pickup fields. Then assign the freight price code in the Customer Information.

The prompts to setup a Freight Price Code are:
