Create Freight Ticket

A freight ticket may be created when purchasing material from a customer. In this situation, the ticket is created using the usual process.

Then follow the steps to create the freight ticket with the current ticket opened.

1. Select the commodities for this ticket as you would a regular ticket and enter the Gross and Tare weights. For this example we've used #1 Copper.

2. Then press the button to the left of the Total Gross line.

You'll notice that the Gross and Net weights for this Freight Ticket are already listed from the commodity Gross and Net Weights entered on the main Buy screen. You should select whether the customer's Freight Rate will be based on the Gross or Net weight. In this example, since the circle next to the Net Weight is checked, the Freight Rate will be based on the Net Weight.

3. Add the carrier and Freight Rate using the icon under the Carrier Section; select the Freight Rate using the icon. Then, select the Freight Distance or a specific quote for the carrier or customer under Freight Allocation to determine how much the customer will be charged at the Freight Rate you selected. Then Press OK.

This is how your ticket will look after creating a Freight Ticket. You'll notice the Freight Rate appears as a ($200) Deduction.

Note: In order to actually create the freight ticket at least one freight rate must be associated with the selected carrier. Freight rates may be created at User Menu > Maintain Freight Rates.

4. Continue working with the ticket. When you close the ticket you will be asked who is paying the freight: Yard or Customer.

5. To edit the ticket created for the freight carrier:

Select the freight ticket from the Held Tickets screen.
Note: If the freight ticket is already paid or partially paid a message displays instructing you to void the freight ticket and create a new one.
If the freight ticket is closed, it will be opened and you can edit the freight commodity line item or add another line item.

6. When finished making changes, close the freight ticket.
7. Pay or edit the freight ticket.
