Does the "Shipping" field in the purchase order window actually do anything other than hold the values of shipping? Or does it append those values into the "Cost of Goods" or cost of anything?
I am asking this because recently my boss asked me why there was no shipping charges appended to the cost of goods on a recent purchase order. Meaning, why wasn't there $.57 added to each item cost to cover the shipping. I of course replied that the shipping amount was entered into the purchase order, but then I got to thinking, "does the shipping field even do anything for me?"
