HEADS UP - shipping calculation bug
For the benefit of those use a shipping item based on Percent of Total...
Issue 122481 - Shipping Rate > The Shipping Cost based on Shipping Rate="Percent of Total" includes the Subtotal Item
Severity: S3 - Important
Here's an example:
1) You set up a shipping item based on percent of total (say 10%), for instance an item called Shipping Surcharge.
2) On the sales transaction, you enter one or more line item(s) for stuff you're charging for, then a subtotal line item, followed by a 5% discount line item (as noted in the Help, a discount item only applies to the line preceding it, so this is one way to apply a discount to all items that precede the Subtotal line, thereby creating an order level discount).
