The idea behind shipments and the freight functionality is that an Admin user creates what are called shipments that represent the freight you are receiving from exhibitors. Those shipments represent the weight, contents, shipper and carrier and other details. Shipments themselves do not hold the charges for the material handling; instead they are connected to order and, based on the details provided in the shipment, create an order item representing the total charges for an exhibitor.
Telling Stone will work with you to configure your material handling schedules and freight products. For a explanation as to how this works, click here to watch this brief video.
