Defining Certification Product Shipping Charges

To calculate shipping for certification products where weight is not an issue, shipping surcharges can be defined and assessed for a line item. If desired, you can assign an override amount that explicitly defines a shipping price outside of any other calculation.

To define the shipping charges:

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 Define the Product task category, click Define Shipping Charges.
The Shipping Charges screen displays, as shown below.

4. Click Add to add rows to the grid.

5. Select the Ship-Via method from the drop-down.

6. Select the Calculation Method from the drop-down.

7. If necessary, enter the Shipping Surcharge and the Shipping Override amount.

8. Select the Begin Date from the drop-down.

9. Select whether the shipment is Domestic or Foreign.

10. Click Save.
