The sales container handling app lets you calculate freight and fees directly on a sales order. The calculation depends on the amount on the sales order lines and the setup you have defined on the customer.

You can add freight and fee lines automatically. The app adds one or both of them depending on your setup, so you can cover freight charges, customs, insurances, or whatever fee you need.

For freight charges, you can choose between two calculation methods. You can calculate the freight as a percentage of the item lines, or you can use a fixed price.

Calculating freight and fees on a sales order

When you work with a sales order, the app calculates freight and fees based on the values on the sales order lines. The setup on the customer determines how the calculation runs and which lines get added.

When you run the calculation, the app adds lines to the sales order. Depending on your setup, it adds a line for freight, a line for fees, or both. This means you can handle freight charges together with customs, insurances, and any other fees you have configured.

Choosing between percentage and fixed price for freight charges

The app gives you two ways to set up freight charges. You can calculate the freight as a percentage of the item lines, which means the freight follows the value of the order. Or you can set a fixed price, which stays the same regardless of the order value. You pick the method that fits how you charge your customers.
