Marketplace Best Practices
Shipping Charges
There is a best practice to use when creating your requisition that will include known shipping charges. Rather than create a separate line item in your requisition as a “shipping charge”, please follow these steps:
- After clicking on “Proceed to Checkout,” click on the “Shipping & Handling Charges” tab
- Click on the “edit” button below the unit price
- Select “override” from the drop-down box
- Enter the shipping amount and hit “save”
- Click the “Summary” tab to return to the PR
- You are free to create your requisition when ready
