3. Enter a unique Name for the freight terms.
4. Enter a Description of the freight terms.
5. In the FOB field, indicate where the responsibility for goods is transferred. You can enter a generic term such as "Shipping Point", "Origin", or "Destination" or you can derive a specific location using location variables. The following variables are available in this field:

   Variable	Description
   <VendorCity>	ActivityHD replaces this variable with the city of the vendor location that is selected as the default on the order.
   <VendorState>	ActivityHD replaces this variable with the state of the vendor location that is selected as the default on the order.
   <VendorZip>	ActivityHD replaces this variable with the Zip of the vendor location that is selected as the default on the order.
   <ShippingCity>	ActivityHD replaces this variable with the city from the shipping address specified on the purchase order.
   <ShippingState>	ActivityHD replaces this variable with the state from the shipping address specified on the purchase order.
   <ShippingZip>	ActivityHD replaces this variable with the Zip from the shipping address specified on the purchase order.

   Example

   If the value in the FOB field is <VendorCity>, <VendorState> and the vendor order address is 123 Main Street, Dallas, TX 75201, then the derived FOB for the purchase order would be Dallas, TX.

6. In the Shipping Method field, select the default shipping method for the freight terms. The shipping method can be overridden on the purchase order.
