Goal: This option allows you to setup default container costs that can then be used to prime the Costing Worksheet. Steps: 1. From the ' Main   Menu ' select options - ' Purchasing & Receipting ' - ' Import   Purchasing ' - ' Container   Costs '. 2. You will then be presented with a screen listing the default container costs that have already been entered into the system. 3. To Add a new container cost, press/click <F6> and complete the following fields: Import   Code:   key the import charges code or <F3> to search. The Code Type field will be automatically populated after you press <Enter> (with 'F' for foreign or 'L' for local). Please note that default duty charges cannot be assigned to containers. Shipping   Line :  key the shipping line code or <F3> to search.  Departure   Port:  key the port of loading or <F3> to search.  Arrival   Port:  key the port of arrival or <F3> to search. Cost :  key the cost in the currency you require.  Currency :  key the currency the  Cost  is in.
