multiple FOB terms on sales details

[CCarpenter]

Hi. how do all of you handle the multiple line sales orders where the
freight terms may be different for each line. Ex. Collect, Third Party
Bill etc. etc. We know the sales order entry program will allow multiple
carrier numbers per lines - but not fob's.

we know that this is not a common thing, but for such orders, do you create
separate sales orders for each FOB? any help or suggestions appreciated.

Hi Cheryl

When you say "FOB" do you mean "Freight Handling Code, FRTH"?

Is there any other functionality attached to this field in your case or is it just a "dumb" field for recording purposes only?
Maybe you can use another freight type UDC, that can be changed at line level (through SOE Additional row exit) such as mode of transport, zone or stop code (ex customer master) or even shipping condition and commodity (ex Item master)?

Did you also have a look at preferences? I don't know if they are fully applicable but preference 32,33 and 34 have FRTH included.

Good luck,
