In the dynamic realm of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM), SapphireOne distinguishes itself through its exceptional features and adaptability. A prime example of this is our bespoke freight invoice management functionality. This tailored feature enhances the invoicing process by allowing freight costs to be seamlessly integrated into the total cost of each individual line item on an invoice. This method not only simplifies the accounting process but also offers significant advantages for a wide range of organisations.
Understanding Customised Freight Invoice Handling
SapphireOne offers two bespoke options for handling freight costs:
Freight Calculated as a Percentage of Price per Unit – This method allows the freight cost to be calculated as a percentage of the unit price, ensuring that the shipping cost is proportionate to the value of the item.
Fixed Cost of Freight per Unit – This option assigns a fixed freight cost to each unit, providing a straightforward and predictable freight charge.
These options enable businesses to incorporate freight costs into the final cost of each line item on the invoice, offering a more transparent and simplified approach to freight charges. it is worth considering why this logic is common in the B2C e-commerce market, where traders who aim to reduce customer reluctance present shipping charges as part of a “free shipping” offer, thereby eliminating any mystery or need for further calculations as to what will be the finished price.
