Objective
The Shipping System facilitates
efficient packaging methods and ensures the accuracy of freight
charges based on actual product shipping weights and up-to-date
carrier rates.

means of controlling the packing process. Packers see only
the orders that are due to ship.
- Up to date shipping rates and
electronic scales provide more accurate shipping costs.

entry process an estimated cost of shipping.

are automatically updated in the Sales Order module.
