Requirements
Overall
- Some inform the customer of the shipping charge, so the shipping needs to be determined at order time
- Sometimes the shipping charge is not determined until the shipment is created and weighed, then actual shipping is billed to customer
- Need to have a flat-rate table with user-determined shipping rates
- Need to be able to look up supplier rates via web-service
- Need to be able to add a user-defined surcharge (flat-rate or percent)
- Need to be able to compare the cost of various shipping methods, and select one.
- Rate Basis Methods
- Total Order Weight: weight drawn from product records, or on scale
- Product Preset: Predefined amount from Product Record
- Total Price of Order: uses flat rate table with a scale of the order price
