Entering a Delivery - Freight Card

Freight Code
Paste Special    Freight Companies setting, Stock module
The Freight Code refers to a record in the Freight Companies setting where information is stored regarding the courier or haulage companies that your business uses to deliver goods to its Customers. In some countries, it is a legal requirement that this information be printed on Delivery documentation.

Enter the appropriate Freight Code of the Freight Company used for this Delivery. The Freight Company Registration Number, Freight Company, Truck Information, Driver and CMR Text will then be brought in from the Freight Companies setting. You can change them here for this Delivery only. For descriptions of these fields, please refer to the page describing that setting here.

Language
Paste Special    Languages setting, System module
Default taken from    Sales Order
The Language Code determines the text to be transferred from various registers and settings, for example the Item Name, text for Delivery Terms and Delivery Mode, and the selection of document forms etc. Leave the field blank to use the home Language.

You can also use the Language to determine the Form that will be used when you print the Delivery, and the printer that will be used to print it. This can include sending the document to a fax machine, if your hardware can support this feature. Do this in the 'Define Document' window for the Delivery and Picking List documents, as described here. You can change the Language before printing the Delivery even if it has been approved., to ensure it is printed on the correct printer or fax machine.

Tax Sum
When defining VAT Code records using the setting in the Nominal Ledger, it is possible to specify that an additional tax, such as an environmental tax, be levied. If the VAT Code of any of the rows of the originating Order is one where such an additional tax has been defined, the amount of that tax will be shown in this field. The figure is shown here for information only.
