What is a Real AWB Cost?
The Real AWB Cost is the actual handling cost known after fulfilling an order.
When you sell a product, the system will determine the total cost of a product based on the estimated freight cost and the financial data provided. This means that if there are unexpected fluctuations in the handling cost, you might need to update this information.
If this happens, you can update the information in the system to reflect the accurate cost of the product as soon as you know the actual cost.
Any changes in these charges will impact your gross profit margin.
