Distribution Method
Select the method for distributing the freight amount among document rows. Based on your selection, the freight charges are distributed from the header to the rows to allocate freight to inventory or last purchase price. None – The freight amount is not distributed among the document rows. You cannot select this option if you have selected Inventory or Last Purchase Price. Quantity – Distributes the freight amount among the document rows in proportion to the quantity of each row. For example, there are three rows with quantities of 5, 3 and 2, respectively, and the freight amount is $100. The freight amount is distributed as follows: $50 for the first row, $30 for the second row, and $20 for the third row. Volume – Distributes the freight amount among the document rows in proportion to the volume of the items in each row. Weight – Distributes the freight amount among the document rows in proportion to the weight of the items in each row. Equally – Distributes the freight amount equally among the document rows. For example, the freight amount is divided by the number of rows and distributed accordingly, regardless of the quantity and total of each row. Row Total – Distributes the freight amount among the document rows in proportion to the total amount of each row. For example, there are three rows with a total amount of $500, $300, and $200, respectively, and the freight amount is $100. The freight amount is distributed as follows: $50 for the first row, $30 for the second row, and $20 for the third row.

Drawing Method

The options are: None – No freight will be copied to target document. Quantity – The amount is divided into the item quantity and each unit carries the same amount of freight. Total – SAP Business One calculates which part of the document total or row total is copied to the target document. It then adds the relative amount of the document or row freight to that target document. All – Copies all the freight to the target document.

Stock
Adds the freight amount entered, either in the row level or the total level, to the item's cost calculated when working with perpetual inventory.
