Ted,

We bill actual freight charges using a special charge line.  The freight
charges are put on our "shipper" (COM pick list) with a label from our UPS
or FedEx Ground systems, or written on by a clerk using a common carrier
freight rating system.  During the billing process, they added a special
charge line with the actual freight cost.

Interestingly enough, MAPICS now offers a free (did you get that?  FREE!)
enhancement to COM called OFFSHIP.  We have automated our shipping process
using this extremely slick new feature (already reducing clerical work
load from 3 to 2 in the shipping department), and will in 2 weeks have
completed automated the COM billing process, receiving the freight charges
directly from the UPS and FedEx Ground systems.

OFFSHIP is an extremely slick enhancement that isn't getting the attention
it deserves.

Hello.  I too am an older guy who used to rename m.sysctl to m.sysxxx to
keep dedicated mode and also would try to keep a terminal on during backup
so that I could control when the endless compress began- I vaguely
remember
all the 36 stuff that has been mentioned and the nightmare of hours of
ptfs
and when "this may take a loooooong time" was a true statement.

Now, my COM question....

We do have a flat rate for shipping most items.  We would like a way to
capture the actual ship charge.  My idea at first is to create another
special charge of type 3 to capture the cost.  I do not see any holes in
this idea and that makes me a little nervous.  I guess my question is what
should I be aware of if I propose this solution?

Thanks, Ted
