Enter Zone information
Explanation
This activity is used to enter zone specific information.
It is possible to
define the minimum freight amounts, the freight free amount and the default value for fixed
delivery freight for each zone. A specific zone can be entered
only once. To save an entry, either minimum freight amount or freight free
amount or fixed delivery freight must have been entered. Further, a minimum
freight amount is defined, and if the calculated freight charge is less than
that, the minimum amount will be used instead of the calculated amount.
When a consolidation is performed for the customer
order, the sum of net amounts in customer order lines which are to be delivered
together (same ship via code, planned ship date, delivery address etc) will be compared with the freight free amount.
Fixed Delivery Freight is the total amount of fixed
charge price defined for all customer order lines which are to be delivered
together.
Any amounts entered are considered as excluding tax
unless the price list is defined as using price including tax. A freight price
list will only be used on a sales quotation or a customer order with a similar
usage of price including tax. It is only possible to use price including tax
when working in a company using the VAT tax regime.
Prerequisites
This activity has the below prerequisites:
-
The price list header should exist.
-
The required zone ID, must exist in the freight map
entered in the price list header.
System Effects
As a result of this activity :
- When a customer order line or sales quotation is saved, if the amount is greater than the
specified freight free amount for the zone in the relevant freight price list,
the freight charge should be waived from the customer.
e.g.:
Order Line |
Zone ID |
Freight free amount |
Order Amount |
1 |
Z1 |
1000 |
1100 |
2 |
Z2 |
2000 |
300 |
3 |
Z1 |
1000 |
500 |
- No freight charge is added for order line 1, as the
order
amount exceeds the freight free amount. For order lines 2 and 3 a freight charge
will be added.
- When consolidating, the order amounts of order line 1 and
3 will be added together and the total order amount will be compared with the
freight free amount for zone 1 (1000).
- When the calculated freight (freight quantity * freight price) is lower
than the specified minimum freight amount, the charge price to the order
line will be the fixed minimum freight amount. This will be applied only if
the freight charge type is a unit charge.
- If the Apply Fixed Delivery Freight check box is selected in a
customer order, sales quotation or shipment, the value entered as fixed
delivery freight will be the default fixed freight charge.
