Overview of Shipping Cost Types
Shipping cost types are shipment-related costs such as administration fee, duty fee, insurance, handling cost, export fee, or transportation charge.
You can define a cost type within a category with a suggested amount. Shipping costs can be recorded at any point in time for a shipment, shipment line, or packing unit. Shipping cost types provide you the flexibility to:
-
Defining a uniform shipping cost under a specific category for future reference
-
Specifying an effective date range for the validity of the cost type
-
Defining a cost type in preferred currency
