Freight Amount

The currency amount the customer should be charged for a shipment.  The freight amount cannot be negative. 

If the VAT or GST Included flag on the header is set to 'Y', the freight amount entered here must include VAT and GST charges.  MAC-PAC calculates the percentage of the total representing freight and redisplays the net freight, together with its associated VAT or GST amount. 

In a GST environment, Reference File category 447 (OP System Defaults 3) determines the minimum freight charged on export orders.  On export orders from Canada, GST is charged only if the freight charge is below the minimum amount designated in the minimum freight field.
