to calculate the genuine cost and the packaging.
We can activate Odoo Shipping features by:
Go to Sales->Configuration->Settings->Shipping Methods,
This feature enables us to compute the shipping cost on orders effectively. Meanwhile,
the end user has to choose their delivery methods from the enlisted options.
Upon clicking shipping method you will be navigated to the below given page
Here, you can name the new delivery method. Below the name there is Providerfield,
which can be either Fixed price or Based on Rules. On selecting the fixed price
option shipping cost will remain fixed at the time of shipping.
If the selection is based on rules, you will be able to set the shipping cost dynamically.
New price rule can be created by clicking the Add a line option.
Here, the shipping costs get computed based on a set of guidelines. The conditions
are given below
- Weight
- Volume
- Weight *volume
- Price
- Quantity
For example, If the product weight is greater than certain esteem, sales price will
be a certain sum.
If weight<=5.0 then fixed price 20.0
If weight>=5.0 then fixed price 50.0
If price>=300.0 then fixed price 0.0 plus 0.0 times weight
This choice helps one to utilise distinctive standards for the shipping.
A user can also set limitations on the shipping methods. The shipping destination
can also be confined to explicit nations, states or to some postal divisions. The
shipping method can be redone as indicated by geographic area.
After making a sale order a user can select the delivery method by doing this.
