A Freight Dispatch can be created and printed based on a Purchase Order Set. This document is typically used to communicate shipment details to the carrier responsible for transporting the freight.

Before generating a Freight Dispatch, the purchase order that represents the freight vendor must be identified within the Purchase Order Set.

To do this:

  1. Open the Purchase Order Set.
  2. Select the purchase order that represents the freight vendor.
  3. In the top-right corner, mark this purchase order as the Freight PO.



  1. Save the Purchase Order Set.

This identifies the vendor responsible for transporting the freight and displays that vendor on the Freight Dispatch document.


Generating a Freight Dispatch

To generate a Freight Dispatch:

  1. Navigate to PO → Enter/Edit Purchase Order Sets.
  2. Locate the Purchase Order Set.
  3. Click Generate Freight Dispatch.

When generating the Freight Dispatch, the user can select the following options.
