Options	No - Does not back out the billed freight from COGS or COMM (COST). The landed costs remain with freight included. COGS - Backs out the billed freight amount from COGS. COGS/COMM - Backs out the billed freight amount from COGS and COMM (COST).
Outcome of setting this control record	Determines how the system handles pass-along freight in the COGS and/or COMM COST calculations.

Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.

Options	Yes - Adds the cost of incoming freight. No - Does not add the cost of incoming freight.

Options	Yes - Passes along incoming freight costs to customers who are not exempt from incoming freight. No - Does not pass along incoming freight costs to customers who are not exempt from incoming freight.

Rank(s) to Exclude - Specify the product ranks, such as A, B, and C, for which to not charge the customer for incoming freight.

If a soft-tagged item has a product rank equal to one of the ranks specified in this record, incoming freight is not calculated. If a soft-tagged item does not have a product rank equal to one of the ranks specified in this record, the system calculates the prorated billable incoming freight amount from the received purchase orders and passes that amount on to the customer as Incoming Freight: Billable.
Default Value(s)	None
Dependencies	The Pass Along Incoming Freight to Billable Freight Customers record must be set to Yes.
Action if set to Null	All products, regardless of rank are included when passing along incoming freight.
