Consignment Costs

Besides freight cost, it's also possible to create costs linked to consignments and have those costs inserted on source documents to charge customers. These costs can be:

• Manually edited.
• Based on package types when packages are added.
• Created automatically based on cost calculation rules when a consignment is created.
