Hello fellow friends, although I’ve been in Tryton now for more than 3 years, I still cannot use the shipment module. Would somebody be so kind and just throw at me the very basics? - Just a few bullet points will be good enough, no bells and whistles please. And really the basics, no sophisticatio…

Thank you to everybody who contributed. To sum up the very basic scenario, as far as I understood: install trytond-sale-shipment-cost and trytond-stock-shipment-cost create parties of your carriers make sure that in you own company, your warehouse (?) and the customers in question, the “country” …

IMHO, you would get lost in any ERP if you consider that a parcel is a product and you can modify the order at shipment time to change it.

[image] SISalp: you would get lost in any ERP if you consider that a parcel is a product Dear Dominique, thank you for taking the time. I’m very much certain that you are right, and I’m absolutely willing (as written above several times) to learn how to do it correctly. So I understood: I sh…

You can (sort of) do what you want like this: Sale - Invoice Method: On shipment sent Sale - Shipment cost Method: On Shipment In the Shipment, in cost tab:set cost and cost sale to the value you like. When you complete the shipment the invoice will be generated with the right value. But the sa…

Refering to the title of this thread “Shipment basics”, I try here to sort things a bit. If shipment cost is just a cost, then, cost is charged by the carrier and appears in reports Packaging is often configured as “consumable” so the system considers they are always available. This was the simp…

Dear friends, I really appreciate your effort&time you’re putting into this discussion. Hope, in the end we’ll have some outcome worth it. [image] SISalp: If shipment cost is just a cost, then, cost is charged by the carrier and appears in reports Packaging is often configured as “consumable” …

The cost of shipment sold to the customer can be set on the shipment by editing the “Cost Sale” field from sale_shipment_cost module if the shipment cost method is “On Shipment”. But an initial shipment cost line must have to be computed on the sale quotation (even if set to 0) by setting a carrier…

[image] herrdeh: products’ prices + service/shipment fee = invoice_total Quite usual in France, but is not the use case you submitted. It is not usual to modify the shipment fee after the order is validated. The alternative to predetermined shipment fees was (up to recently) shipping fee pa…

[image] SISalp: Quite usual in France, but is not the use case you submitted. In fact true. With B2C business, usually shipment fee is fixed with at order time. So I was not precise enough in my description. [image] SISalp: It is not usual to modify the shipment fee after the order is va…

[image] dotbit: When you complete the shipment the invoice will be generated with the right value. I’m afraid, I am still missing a bit. With that approach described, somewhere at least one shipment fee must be set, I guess - which then can be assigned to the actual shipment. Sorry, but I sti…

With awesome help by fellow friend @dotbit via video call, I proceeded a few steps. First, I noticed to have missed to install sale-shipment-cost. But now, another question occured: In menu > Carrier > Configuration > Selection, I can set up “From country”, “to country” and “Carrier”. But in “Car…
