Shipping fields

To access shipping documents and fields, toggle on Ship order on your sales or purchase order.

This will change the order to include certain fields like Freight, Shipping Address, and more. You can also print sales shipping documents such as: packing slip, box content list, etc.

Charging freight

1. Select Ship order.
2. Enter the amount in the Freight field.

Will freight affect sales order profit or product costs?

Freight on a sales order won’t affect the sales order’s profit (when added to the freight field). Freight added to non-customer costs or as a line item will affect sales order profit.

The freight paid when purchasing products is calculated into the product cost. Take a look at how inFlow calculates cost from this guide.

Printing packing slips

1. When the Ship order setting is active, select the Ship tab. The Ship tab will appear once products are fully or partially picked in the sales order.
2. Click on Ship order to pack all products into a single box, or select Ship with multiple boxes. 
3. Fill out the Shipping details, then select Ship order.
4. Select Print or email to generate the Packing slip.

Windows

Shipping can be turned on by clicking the Add shipping link in the top right-hand corner of your order window (just below the order date and status).

Adding shipping also adds additional fields such as Payment Terms and P.O#. Once you’ve added shipping, you can control the shipping address as well.

You will also see fields such as Freight, Due Date, or Requested Ship Date appear at the bottom of the order. You can select the requested ship date from the drop-down or enter your freight charges into the freight field as indicated. You can add more shipping information on the Ship tab at the bottom. There, you can register the carrier and their tracking number if provided.
