The BOL Classes file is used to define, create, or maintain Bill of Lading classification information. A BOL Classification is linked to the specific Item. When shipped, if the Carrier does not use Density Rating, this BOL Class will be used when creating the Bill of Lading form to identify the class of commodity that is being shipped.
BOL Class does NOT pull from the Epicor ERP. Users MUST enter Classes in this screen and then update the Maintenance | Products with each items BOL Class.
NOTE: If you are NOT using Manual Rating for your carriers you are NOT required to enter BOL Classes in the Product Record. You can manually type in what classes you want on the BOL form.
A BOL Class ‘FAK’ (Freight All Kinds) can be defined to be used when an individual item has not specific BOL Class assigned, or when a case contains items with multiple BOL Classes.
