Defining Exhibition Product Shipping Charges

To calculate shipping for exhibition products where weight is not an issue, shipping surcharges can be defined and assessed for a line item. hipping surcharge calculations or shipping charge overrides are defined here for each Ship-Via method. Surcharges defined here will be added to any other shipping charges; overrides will override any other shipping charges.

You can assign a specific method to each product for calculation of shipping. This can be done by weight, by percentage of price, by schedule, or by flat rate. If necessary, you can assign an override amount that will explicitly define a shipping price outside of any other calculation.

1. From the Personify360 main toolbar, select Products > Product Central.
The Product Maintenance search screen displays.

2. Click Search to find a product or click Create New Product.

3. From the Product Definition task category, click Define Shipping Charges.
