In our previous blog post on FOB point, we had discussed about setup of FOB in Sage 300. Setting FOB Point in Sage 300 ERP

In addition to this, we will discuss about how we can use FOB in Sage 300. Sage 300 has the functionality of applying the FOB Point to the Sales Order, Shipment and the Invoice from O/E Transactions.

Order Entry -> O/E Transactions -> Order Entry

  • When the user selects the Customer No. from the finder or enters the Customer No. and press the “Tab” Key, the FOB Point stored at the customer level is carried over to the FOB Point under the Customers tab in Order Entry Screen.

Shipment Entry

  • As the Ship-To-Locations is set at the end, the FOB Point is set for the selected Ship-To-Locations rather than Customer or Template Code.

Shipment Entry

FOB Point used from O/E Invoice Entry Screen:

To access the O/E Invoice Entry Screen, the user needs to follow the below path.

Order Entry -> O/E Transactions -> Invoice Entry.

The user can change the FOB Point to any location from the Default FOB Point that is carried down from various screens to the Order/Shipment/Invoice Screens.

We can add FOB points and various places and use it while generating Order, Shipment and Invoice.

So, it will be very useful to set FOB Point while placing Order/Shipment/Invoice.
