As an administrator, you can configure the conditions of a purchase request, which when
met, adds a handling fee to that purchase request. Any field on the Purchase Request table can be
used as part of the conditions to determine if a handling fee is to be applied for a
purchase.

If multiple handling fees are generated based on the configurable conditions, the handling fee
with the lowest rank is applied. A Procurement Administrator can leverage the Pricing table to
apply handling fee pricing. In the Pricing table, handling fees can be set as a fixed price or as
a percentage-based price. When percentage-based pricing is not applied, the handling fee line
amount is a percentage of the total amount of all the lines on the purchase request.

If there is a handling fee rule associated with a purchase requisition, a new purchase line is
created with product type as handling fee. You can also view the details of this view-only
handling fee purchase line from the My purchases tab.

## Shipping method {#handling-fees__section_dlj_dl4_z4b}

As an administrator, you can create shipping methods and associate them with various suppliers
and delivery locations. If a shipping method is defined by the admin for a specific supplier and
a specific delivery location, it is prompted to the shopper during checkout. When multiple
shipping methods are available, the user can select any one for the purchase. Shipping method is
only applicable for product type goods. Shipping method records store the details of the
carrier, the applicable suppliers, and the valid delivery location countries for those
suppliers. If no countries are defined for a supplier to deliver, the shipper delivers to all
countries.  
The shopper is required to select the shipping method, if applicable, during both quick and full checkout to proceed. In full checkout, it is a mandatory field on the Delivery date page. During checkout, a shipping method is available for selection if both these conditions are met:

* If the supplier in a given shipping method is listed in that shipping method's Supplier field.
* If the delivery location country in a given shipping method is listed in the Supplier delivers to field.
{#handling-fees__ul_cyt_2q5_z4b}

Shipping method is stored in each cart line and purchase line. It is also stored on each
purchase requisition generated during full checkout, and is referenced in the purchase order and
purchase order lines.

Shipping method is one of the criteria for grouping purchase requisitions, along with
supplier, business owner, and blanket requisition. All purchase lines with the same shipping
method are grouped together.
