Use the Commercial Invoice Settings page to add additional fields to a standard commercial invoice document, and set other defaults related to commercial invoices. This provides users with the ability to edit the standard version of a commercial invoice before a shipment is booked.
Freight Cost Settings
Freight Cost: Select whether to use the default shipping cost as the listed ‘freight cost’ on the commercial invoice, or opt to ‘use order ship price as freight cost’. If you choose to use the order ship price as freight cost, the order shipping cost will be used for the ‘freight cost’ field. This option should only be used by accounts that always ship international orders complete. Back ordered items, split shipments, and drop ship items will not be accounted for in the order shipping price.
Split order cost for multi-shipment orders: If you select this checkbox, a user is able to split the order shipping price when multiple shipments are made for an international order. Users must only enable the above setting if the setting ‘Use order shipping price as freight costs’ is enabled.
Signature Settings
Signature Name/Title: Set a default name and title to print whenever generating a commercial invoice.
Print Settings
Copies to Print when Shipping: Enter the number of commercial invoice copies to generate upon international shipment booking.
