SAP Business One allows you to create quotations, sales orders, deliveries, and A/R invoices. But along the way, orders have to be shipped. Many companies use separate computer systems for UPS, FedEx and other carriers. Maintaining multiple databases for customer addresses and entering information for each shipment is time-consuming and a likely source of errors.

The Achieve Freight Control module serves as a bridge between SAP Business One and the carrier shipping systems. All relevant information for each order is copied to a shipping request document.

Operators may enter the quantity shipped or packaging information to verify shipping charges. The data is transmitted to the carrier’s system and final charges with tracking numbers are returned. Finally, the delivery document or invoice may be automatically created from the shipping request.

In addition, Achieve Freight Control includes a rate shopping feature, which allows operators to view shipping rates by various carriers and shipping options, from within the sales order screen. This enables them to provide accurate estimates of shipping charges to customers at the time the order is placed.

As with all Achieve One modules, Achieve Freight Control is built specifically for SAP Business One, utilizing the advanced technical architecture of the SAP Business One Software Development Kit.
