The find auto costs buton on a voyage is working only for auto costs at voyage level. If the are auto costs set up at lower levels (shipping container, item...), it is necessary to go on each level and launch the find auto costs function. For example if customs duties and taxes are set up at item level (which is the case in international transport because it depends on a customs classification), it is necessary to go individualy on every puchase line and the launch the find auto costs function.

The other point is to improve the auto costs set up. Currently it is not possible to use an intermediate calculation, which would not be seen as a cost, but as an intermediate amount on which other costs would be based on. Example: An intermediate auto cost “CIF” would be a sum a the value of the goods plus some transport an insurance, but not to be considered as a cost in itself, and the fiscal taxes / duty taxes or other taxes are a % of this CIF amount.

With these 2 improvement it would be possible to estimate customs duties and taxes, or local transport costs based on international import costs.

Yes important to have all costs (from items, PO, containers, etc.) grouped into a unique point (voyage)
