ODOO'S FUNCTION
Odoo only supports adding shipping costs directly on the Sales Order form, with calculations based on the total weight and the demand quantity. However, this approach comes with limitations, especially in scenarios involving partial deliveries or when the actual delivered quantity differs from the initial demand
CLUEDOO'S FUNCTION
Cluedoo offers the ability to add shipping costs directly from the Delivery or Batch Delivery forms. The shipping fee can be calculated based on either the Total Weight or the Package Weight, with an additional option to compute it using the Delivered Quantity instead of the demand quantity. This added flexibility allows for more accurate shipping cost management, especially in cases of partial deliveries or when the actual shipment differs from the sales order
Delivery A: Calculation Method: Total Weight Based on Delivered Quantity Go to Inventory > Delivery Methods > Create a new delivery method/ Access an existing one > Set up fields:
|   |
Go to Sales > Create a new sale order > Add products whose weights are inputted > Confirm > Move to the Delivery > Input the Delivered Quantity > Click on the Add Shipping button EX: Set up the Weight of each product (SP1, SP2, MA1) to 5 kg Note: The "Add Shipping" Button only appears on the Delivery form when the Delivery is created from a Sale Order |    |
A pop-up will appear after clicking on the Add Shipping button > Choose the configured shipping method > You can see the Shipping Cost calculated based on the Weight of products, the Delivered Quantity, and the corresponding Rules > Click on the Add button on the pop-up > The Shipping cost will be added to the sale order line EX: For this transfer: Set up the Weight of each product (SP1, SP2, MA1) to 5 kg
> Total Weight of the Transfer = 40 kg > Meet the condition "if Weight <= 50" => The shipping cost of the delivery = 20 + 2 * 40 = 100 |    |
Based on Demand Quantity Go back to the Delivery Method form > Uncheck the Delivered Quantity checkbox > Save |  |
Go back to the Delivery Form > Click on the Add Shipping button > Choose the configured shipping method > Can see that the Shipping Cost of the Delivery is calculated based on the Demand Quantity EX: For this transfer: Set up the Weight of each product (SP1, SP2, MA1) to 5 kg

Go back to the Delivery Form > Assign packages to each product |    |
Click on the Add Shipping button > Choose the configured shipping method > Can see that the Shipping Cost of the Delivery is calculated based on the Total Weight of each Package and the corresponding Rules Note: Total Weight of each Package is the sum of the weight of all products contained in that package Ex: For this transfer > Set up the Weight of each product (SP1, SP2, MA1) to 5 kg
> Calculate based on the corresponding rules:
=> The Shipping Cost of the Delivery = 40 + 40 + 30 = 110 |   |
Batch Delivery A: Calculation Method: Total Weight Based on Delivered Quantity Go to Inventory > Delivery Methods > Create a new delivery method/ Access an existing one > Set up fields:
