This setting can be used to attach a fixed freight charge to all Invoices automatically. If used, this will occur both for Invoices created directly in the Sales Ledger and for those created from Sales Orders. The freight charge will be shown in the Freight field at the bottom of the 'Items' card of the Invoice screen.

Item: Paste SpecialItem register; A record in the Item register for Freight must exist: enter its Item Number here. Note that the Item must have a Base Price specified: it cannot have its price calculated by Item Formula. This Base Price will be the freight charge in each Invoice, and the VAT Code and Sales Account will also be taken from the Item.
GP Percentage of Price: Specify the percentage of the Freight price which is to represent the cost of the freight for inclusion in Gross Profit calculations (e.g. in the GP - Invoices report). If no figure is entered, Freight will not be included in such calculations, even if a Cost Price has been specified for the Item.
Use Freight/Weight Calculation, not the Percentage: If you do not want to apply a fixed freight charge to all Invoices but instead would like the freight charge to be calculated from the combined weight of the Items, check this box. The Freight Item above is still used for accounting purposes (VAT Code and Sales Account). The freight calculation is defined in the Freight/Weight Calculation setting.
