Hi experts,
To ensure good selling price in quotation, the client wants to know every product's estimated freight cost. However, those products are customized & kit sales.
Q1: If the estimated freight cost is based on every product, it causes much workload. Any better solutions?
Q2: How to calculate the reasonable estimated freight cost? As shipment is not used in the system, the estimated freight cost has to be calculated manually. When quotating, no one is sure which type of truck will be used. If assuming every product based on 3 types of trucks have different estimated freight cost, it causes more and more workload, for e.g., manual calculation, system operation (VK11).
ps. There're 3 types of trucks: 40', 35', 20'. The calculation of freight cost is mostly based on the type of truck used, product's volume, the distance, full container loading or not.
Plz help. Many thanks.
