If the Shipping carrierconfiguration key is selected and a shipping carrier interface is set up, information about the sales order is transferred to the shipping carrier software based on the mode of delivery, carrier code, and other parameters that are specified for the sales order.

If the order is paid by credit card, the credit card was not preauthorized when the order was taken, and preauthorizations are enabled, the credit card is preauthorized for the amount of the order plus the estimated shipping charges that are specified on the Credit cardtab in the Accounts receivable parametersform.

When you post sales order invoices, the following information is updated in Microsoft Dynamics AX:

• If you will charge your customer for the shipping charges, the shipping charges are added as miscellaneous charges to the invoice.

• If your customer will pay the shipping charges directly to the shipping carrier, miscellaneous charges are not updated.

• If you will pay the shipping charges on behalf of your customer, miscellaneous charges are not updated.

  Note
  If you offer free shipping to some of your customers, there will be a difference between the revenue collected for shipping charges and the invoice that you receive from the shipping carrier.

If you are using warehouse management and the Kewill ClipperShip software interface, the following additional information is updated in Microsoft Dynamics AX:

• If the order is C.O.D., the invoice is posted and printed so it can be included with the packing slip.

• Any C.O.D. amounts are applied to each package.
