To calculate shipping charges for inventory products where
weight is not an issue, shipping surcharges can be defined and assessed for a
line item. Shipping surcharge calculates or shipping charge overrides are
defined here for each Ship-Via method. Surcharges defined here will be added
to any other shipping charges; overrides will override any other shipping
charges.
Users can also specify the shipping calculation method here
as well. This is calculated either by weight, percentage of price, schedule,
or by flat rate. If needed users can assign an override amount that will
explicitly define a shipping price outside of any other calculation.
If no shipping charges are defined via the Product Setup,
then the default shipping charges setup on the Shipping Charges Maintenance
will be applied.
From Product Central either search or create a new
inventoried product. Under the Product Definition screen task category,
click the Define Shipping Charges screen task. The Product Maintenance
| Shipping Charges screen will appear.
