The following details how Product Weight, Tare Weight, Shipping Weight, Total Weight and Freight Weight are calculated on shipment records.
Users can assign freight charges on Sales Order and Inventory Transfer Shipment records. The weight assigned to the shipment depends on the item properties and on the transaction quantities. The shipment record also allows users to assign additional gross weight, which is then added to the Total Weight calculation. The shipment record allows users to assign the freight rate to be calculated based on the gross or net weight.
