Overview of Extra Charges
We are pleased to introduce a new functionality designed to handle and invoice all additional charges that may arise during transportation or after delivery. With the "Extra Charges" feature, the transportation price will always remain the same as initially booked. Any additional charges, such as extra kilometers, additional stops, demurrages, cancellation fee, etc., must now be registered separately in the "Extra Charges" tab.
