Use the Credit Card Information area on the Ship Via Maintenance window to assign a default upcharge to a ship via. An upcharge is a percentage of the total order used to estimate freight and handling charges. During pre-authorization, the system adds this amount to the total order amount. This ensures that there are enough pre-authorized funds to pay for the goods and potential shipping and handling fees.
To assign credit card information to a ship via:
From the Maintenance menu, select Ship Via to display the Ship Via Maintenance window.
In the Ship Via field, enter the ship via you want to assign the information to.
Click the Additional Information tab to display the additional information area.
In the Percent Upcharge % field, enter the percentage of the total order amount to be added to the pre-authorization to cover any shipping or handling fees.
In the Minimum Upcharge field, enter the minimum upcharge to be added to the total if the upcharge determined by the percent in the Percent Upcharge field is less than this amount.
