Use strategic freight calculations to increase the actual freight charges on an order to help offset the loss of freight charges for freight exempt customers or reduced freight charges. You can select which customers you charge strategic freight when they purchase products from you.
To use a strategic freight in order entry, a customer must have a customer category and customer size assigned, and be set to use strategic freight. The ship via on the order must also be set to use strategic freight.
To set a customer to use strategic freight:
From the Files > Price Maintenance > Strategic Pricing > Strategic Pricing Maintenance menu, select Customer Maintenance to display the Strategic Pricing Customer Maintenance screen.
In the Customer field, enter the customer you want to set up to use strategic freight.
In the Use Strategic Freight field, enter Y to indicate you want to use strategic freight for this customer in order entry.
Press Esc to save your changes and exit the screen.
