I'm developing interfaces to FedEx and UPS that will retrieve freight via the web using SOAP & XML, and automatically apply it to the order. Ideally I would create the freight line at order entry time, and it would cover all stock lines.
In partial ship orders, should I create logic to split the freight line and advance only the portion that pertains to the current shipment? And then there's the problem of order changes after a freight line was created- should I include more logic to recalc upon each order change?
Has anyone ever done any work in this area? I've worked with other ERP systems that carried freight within each line record- that proved easier because whatever happened to the line happened to the freight.
Thanks, Jim
