After reviewing Maintenance | Shipping Charge Schemes; you may want to revisit this screen after the Shipping Charge Schemes have been setup.
When a shipment is processed; the scheme associated with the facility will be used to calculated this additional charge using the defined business rules and add it to the charge calculated by the carrier. This will be the total freight charge passed back to the Epicor ERP for invoicing.
NOTE:
If a specific customer has an associated shipping charge scheme, the Facility level shipping
charge scheme will be ignored when calculating the freight costs - you cannot assess both a
customer-level and a facility-level scheme to a shipment.
Email Template:
The default email template used for emailing shipment notifications to customers. If a customer has an email in the 'Shipment Notification Email Address' field, this template will be used for that email.
Electronic Export:
Use the drop list to select the automated export reporting module that will be used to send pre-departure shipment information to the appropriate government customs agency (e.g. AESDirect for U.S. shippers, CAED for Canadian Shippers).
Statistics Canada and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) launched the Canadian Automated Export Declaration (CAED) program country-wide in 1998. The program is a fast, inexpensive and easy way of reporting your exported goods.
The CAED application enables exporters or their agents (including service providers) to electronically report their goods directly to the Government of Canada thus eliminating the manual reporting process form (B13A).
CBSA has been taking steps since April 1, 2012 to eliminate the manual reporting process (form B13A) for exporters, and replace it with mandatory electronic reporting.
NOTE: these are the only two options currently available in Epicor Manifest.
