Currently, there is no preference to set a default type in field called "3rd Party Billing Type" that is found in the Carriers tab of an Item Fulfillment record.
When using a third party billing for UPS or FedEx accounts when charging the shipping cost, NetSuite defaults to a certain 3rd Party Billing Type which depends on where the third party billing account number is entered.
If you have enabled 3rd Party Billing for Shipping (Setup > Accounting > Shipping > Preferences tab > Third Party Billing = T), the 3rd Party Billing Type would follow this hierarchy:
1. Customer's Record (Financial tab > Balance Information Section: 3rd Party Billing Account Number)
- It considers the customer record entry first. If there is an account number entered, upon fulfillment of a sales order, NetSuite defaults to "Bill Recipient" for FedEx shipments or "Consignee Billing" for UPS shipments.
2. Company Record (Setup > Company > Company Information > either or both for UPS and FedEx 3rd Party Billing Account Number)
- If there is no account number found in the customer record, then, NetSuite uses the company account number. Upon fulfillment of a sales order, NetSuite defaults to "Bill Third Party" for FedEx shipments or "Third Party Billing" for UPS shipments.
3. If the two above information is not met, upon fulfillment of a sales order, NetSuite defaults to "None Selected" for either FedEx or UPS.
Note: There is an enhancement request filed to be able to set a default 3rd Party Billing Type on Item Fulfillment. This is logged under:
- Enhancement #161294 - 'Default 3rd party billing type field = Bill third party when Third Party Fedex Account number is setup in the company information'
