RE: [SYS21] Delivery charge only once on sales orders

Great question and a problem that most of us probably have to solve.  We
dealt with this by using non-stock item lines for freight charges instead of
trailer charges.  We also modified the system to not release these lines
without an inventory item since we had problems with freight only invoices
when the item was backorderd and/or constant maintenance required to change
the delivery date on the freight line when the item did come into stock.

For direct ship items, we modified the system to prompt for freight charges
during PO receipt and create one-time trailer charges.

Subject: [SYS21] Delivery charge only once on sales orders


Anyone know of a method whereby the delivery charge can be made once on the
first or last despatch of an order rather than on every despatch other than
amending the order after the first despatch which users find difficult?
Customers get irritated to receive multiple delivery charges when the reason
for multiple deliveries is our stock out!
