In Enter Sales Orders, if you click the Order Totals ellipsis box and then the Allocate Freight ellipsis box, there is a Freight Allocation Method field in that window that allows for allocating the freight dollar amount of the order based on either line item Amount or line item Quantity. Please add line item Weight as an option, since it is often the main factor that determines the cost of shipping an item to a customer.

This is similar to a previous suggestion that was more complex and involved providing the ability to allocate freight costs to a sales order, by item weight, based on fright carrier invoices being received, usually some time after the sales order had been committed and the customer invoice had been sent. This suggestion is much simpler and isn't requesting the ability to do anything after the fact. This is just a straight-forward addition of having the option to use item weight for allocating freight costs.
This feature is available in the 7.4 release. In 7.4 you can allocate freight (third party) to the entire receipt and then allocate by weight, volume, cost, quantity or manually.
Thanks, Linda. Are you referring to Purchase Orders, or Sales Orders? I am referring to allocating customer shipment freight costs to a Sales Order.
