Shipping Charges

As with departmental sales, create an item called ”Shipping Charge” with an item number of ”SHIP”, stock status of non-stock, a non-taxable item with a Non-Tax Table type of SH, and a zero price.  When the item number SHIP is entered into the Enter Item field, the system will request a price for the shipping charge because of the zero price.  This idea can be expanded into other areas of the inventory that does not allow a perpetual inventory, such as the ”Nuts and Bolts” department.
 
 
When SHIP is entered as an item, The Enter Price screen will be displayed.  Enter the proper shipping price according to store policy.
 
 
The invoice will now include the shipping charges as a line item and be included in the total for the invoice
