Select the Inventory Page 3 option in the left hand column and in the Delivery Item field, you want to select the Delivery Item that you previously set up in the Inventory File. (In this example, it is the item REGDELIVERY). If you click on the button with the 3 dots to the right of that field, you will be taken to the Find Item:1 screen as shown in the image below.
You can then enter the item that you are looking for, press the Find Now button, press the Select button and the field will be filled in as shown in the image below.
If you want the Delivery Charges to be required on Quotes and Sales Orders, there is one more check that is required in the Company Setup as displayed in the image below.
You’ll choose the Sales Orders 1 in the list on the left hand side in the Company Setup. Notice the very last checkbox in the list; Require Delivery Charge on Quotes and Sales Orders. Check this if your store requires this.
