Step 2: Define the Posting Type

First, select a posting type. The posting type determines how shipping options will be posted in individual orders in the future.To select the posting type, click on the drop-down menu labelled “Posting Type Shipping Costs”. This allows you to choose one of the following options:
  • G/L Account
  • Resource
  • Item
  • Charge (Item)
In our example, we will post the shipping costs as a resource. You can then specify the sales number (Sales No.) for the posting in the field below, provided you have already created sales numbers.

Step 3: Define the Total Calculation

The “Total Calculation Sales Pool” field determines how the order total used for the automatic selection of shipping options is calculated.By clicking on the associated drop-down menu, you can choose whether the entire order or only the sum of the items should be used for the calculation.In our example, we select “Grand Total” here.

Step 4: Define the Default Sorting of Shipping Options

Finally, you should specify how the shipping options are to be sorted, i.e. in what order they will ultimately be displayed.
This default sorting only applies when more than one valid shipping option has been found.
To do this, click on the “Default Sorting Shipping Costs” drop-down menu. There you can choose between manual sorting or automatic price-based sorting.In our example, we opt for manual sorting.
