Shipping cost calculation

Delivering goods that are, in part, very heavy and bulky is associated with relatively high transportation costs. At present, these costs are invoiced to the customer after delivery; in other words, two invoices are sent, one for the goods and one for transport. To change this situation, the process has to be improved together with the associated cost to the company. If the transport costs are identified before delivery, it is possible to include the costs of the goods and transportation on the same invoice. To do this, the existing software has to be enhanced to include relevant online dialogs and the necessary business process logic.
