Covid Surchages
* This is best now configured as a country supplement in the same way a Brexit Surcharge, click here for help doc.
We have been made aware carriers such as DHL and FedEx have brought in a Covid Surcharge for deliveries.
We have implemented so that this can be charged out and accrued as a cost in the system, this should only be used for a temporary tariff changes such as the Covid Surcharge, in other cases your cost and sell tariffs should just be updated.
