What must be set up for the automatic distribution of freight charges among items in a sales order?

For the automatic distribution of freight charges among items in a sales order, condition type groups specifically set up for freight charges are essential. This setup allows the system to determine how freight charges are allocated across the individual line items based on defined criteria.

Using condition type groups enables the system to group various condition types related to freight, ensuring that all relevant data is applied uniformly. This grouping can be used to set rules for how the total freight charges are divided among the items, whether based on weight, value, or other metrics prescribed in the sales order.

In contrast, condition types for discounts, freight charge percentages, or service charge conditions relate to other facets of pricing and do not specifically address the distribution mechanism for freight costs among line items. Therefore, condition type groups dedicated to freight are critical to achieving the automatic distribution of these charges effectively.
