Transport and Deliveries - Setting up Transport Cost Component Templates
The definition of which components are part of a calculation and the percentage to use are defined in the Transport Cost Component Template. The component templates are added to the transport order costs as individual costs. The cost component templates are typically used in a situation where an additional charge based on a cost component amount has to be calculated as a percentage of that charge.
