Sell Shipment Costs

Clicking Calculate Sell Costs will pass down all the shipment costs records, including the ones requiring mark-up, which you just defined using the Apply Costs To Sell Side field above. The action performs a tolerance check.

Note: The tolerance limits are defined in the Mark-Up section of the Customer Manager.

If the costs are not within the defined tolerance, you receive an error stating that the calculated charges are not within defined tolerances for this customer.

You can edit the sell shipment service provider, as well as certain sell shipment charges and payment data, including the cost type, accessorial code, payment method code, and shipment cost.

Click Finished at the bottom of the page. This updates the sell shipment service provider, totals all the cost fields, updates the total actual costs, sets the "fixed cost flag" on the shipment, and replaces all sell shipment cost records with those you have defined in this action.
