Delivery Rates

This is where delivery rate rules are set up so the system can automatically calculate delivery charges for sales orders.

The system will take into account the courier for a sales order and will apply the rules in this screen to calculate the delivery charge and add it to the sales order. As the values on the sales order change, this will trigger the system to update the delivery rate charged.
