Base your shipping charges on the weight of your order... It's easy to use, easy to install and, the price is cheap. This modification lets you see the total weight of your order and allows you calculate the charges accordingly.
The Shipping Charge Calculation Screen appears when a
"ship" type item is entered in Pro's Order Entry. Hitting the OK button
places the calculated shipping charge into the item's price field. Of
course, you will want to have weights entered into your inventory for this to be
effective. These screen shots should tell the rest of our story.

INSTALLING THE SHIPPING COST MODULE: (these instructions are also given in our readme file.)
Installing The Ship Calculation Module consists of two steps:
1) Replace the SOPOST.VCX and SOPOST.VCT files in your SO program folder with the attached files. Please save your current SOPOST.VCX/VCT files to a "Save" directory for safe keeping before overwriting. We have made just a few changes to the SOPOST form. These changes only affect the item selection when it detects a "Ship" type item.
2) Place the ssShip.exe file into your Pro system folder (where Sysdata.dbf
is located).
SETUP SCREEN:
You may enter default values into our setup screen. To access the setup screen,
enter a sales order and select a "ship" type line item. Respond "yes" to the
prompt asking if you wish to calculate the shipping charges. The Calculate
Shipping Charges form will show up. Click on the Setup button and enter your
settings.
The settings are:
A multiplier of the total weight to arrive at a price.
A flat dollar amount you wish to add to the the above price.
A percentage added to the above price.
Note that you may add a flat amount or a percentage but not both.
For the UPS option, there are two items that are needed in the setup:
UPS ZIP The first 3 digits of the zip code you are shipping from.
UPS Residential Surcharge.
