Freight Allowance Maintenance

Freight allowances provide a discount on freight charged to your customers. When a freight allowance is assigned to a customer and that customer orders enough dollars or weight (depending on the setting in the allowance) to reach a bracket level, the customer will be awarded a discount from their freight charge. This discount can be a percentage or a set dollar amount. On the sales invoice, this discount will be displayed in the "Free Freight" field in the totals screen.

For example, you can create a freight allowance with a "Type" of "Dollars" that has two brackets:

Assuming the above table:

• If the customer orders $75, they will pay the full freight charge.
• If the customer orders $200, they will get a 25% discount off of their freight charge.
• If the customer orders $750, they will get a 50% discount off of their freight charge.
• If the customer orders $1,000 or more, they will not be charged for freight at all.
