Carrier Write-Back Notes

If you apply a handling charge on the shipment in the carrier system, it is included in the amount written back to the ERP system. This is also true for handling charges defined in ShipGear Freight Rules. To further enhance freight write-back, you can use the Freight Rules module; it allows you to create custom freight rules to control freight write-back.
