Advice - shipping

Iain Fogg
I've just placed a special order with a supplier and he will be charging
me $16 for shipping. My customer has agreed to pay this charge, but my
question is how to set this up in OFBiz? Any advice?

Cheers, Iain

This should be done through an order adjustment.
While you may be tempted to make this a shipping
issue, generally speaking as an accounting issue,
shipping and freight charges are the charges from the
point of where it's Free on board to the customer's
destination (either FOB shipping or FOB destination).
If you're a retail establishment and your customer is
picking it up this charge should be zero.  So again to
pass the special charge on to the customer you would
use either a miscellaneous charge or some other order
adjustment.  Most companies simply offer products at
prices that include all of their costs to avoid this
hassle, but there are always exceptions.
