Good morning.
When a shipping agent is included in a sales document, the system only takes this into account in terms of calculating the delivery time.
It would be interesting for transport agents to be linked to a supplier file that determines the way in which they are going to invoice us for their services.
In sales orders (it would also be interesting in purchase orders) there should be an amount with the cost of transport to be reported by the user, so that when a shipment is registered, apart from the delivery note that is created from the shipment, a purchase note is created for the freight services. These purchase notes could be brought to the carrier's purchase invoice.
This could go even further, by adding freight forwarder fees and extending the functionality for purchasing, i.e. the shipping agent could be reported in the purchasing documents in the same way as in sales.
Best regards.
