Adding Transport Order Cost Lines
You can add Transport Costs and additional surcharges to a Transport Order. When a transport order is Released, a check is made if Transport Costs were added and based on the "Cost Warning" setting in the Transport and Deliveries Set-up either a warning or an error is given when no cost lines were found for the Transport Order. This topic describes the process to add cost lines to a transport order. Transport Order cost lines can also be added from the Delivery Trip.
