Freight properties

Do you want to charge extra for Christmas gift wrapping, express freight, or delivery insurance? This can be done by assigning freight properties. There are two types of freight properties – Overriding and Additional. An overriding freight property removes the default freight rate and adds the cost of the overriding freight property selected by the customer. With the additional shipping property, the property is added to the calculated rate. Please note that additional properties cannot be applied to overriding freight properties.

Here you can add new freight properties that are defined on the basis of type. An overriding freight property will replace the original freight rate, while an additional freight property is added to the original rate. Freight properties are then linked to Freight groups or specific Freight intervals under Freight manager.

To create a freight property:

1. Click Add .
2. Select a Type. You can choose between Overriding or Additional.
3. Select Service in Monitor G5.
