Overview


Region Freight allows your business to charge freight based on regions defined against the Debtor Account. The difference between “standard freight” and “region freight” is that you can nominate the region a customer belongs to and charge accordingly, instead of linking charges to a postcode range.

For example, you might have a group of debtors (from the same parent company) with whom you have agreed to a particular freight arrangement, regardless of their postcode. All of these debtors can have the same region defined using Region Freight.

Excluding Customers from Region Freight - If you do not want a particular debtor to use Region Freight, ensure their Delivery Seq is set to '0'.
