Trucking Charges on Delivery Orders
CATS allows you to add a trucking/freight charge to a delivery order (a DO or an IDO). This lets you enter details about the shipment and also allows you to bill the freight to a customer.
Setting up Trucking Charges
First, you will need to turn on the setting to attach trucking charges to a DO.
Turning on Trucking Tracking
Go to File > Maintenance > Setup > Traffic Setup, then click on the Traffic Orders tab.
Click on the box next to Enable trucking delivery tracking from the DO.
Then, set up the Trucking Reasons.
Entering Reasons for Billing
The assumption on DOs is that trucking is billed to the customer. If you are NOT going to do this, you must choose a reason on each DO to bill to your own account.
Click on the Trucking Reasons… button. A new box will pop up that prompts you to enter reasons for billing to your account instead of the client/customer account. Enter each reason using your keyboard. Each new line will be a reason. Select the OK button to continue.
Pick Save on the Traffic Setup screen to proceed.

Adding an Invoice Item for a Trucking Charge
When you create a sale invoice that references this sale contract, CATS will add a trucking charge to the item for the appropriate amount of units or weight based on the location screen you pick.
The Trucking Report
Under Traffic > Trucking, you can see a list of the trucking charges that have been entered into the system.
