This is the specific step that's gone - along with all of simple acquisistions

If I recall the specific error, you could add a shipping cost, but it wouldn't be calculated in the totals on the invoice page. I believe part of the problem had to do with how the shipping costs were stored in the database, they were indistinguishable from an actual item cost IIRC.> Cheers
I think it got lost in the last version of Koha (another bit of acquisitions got removed all together).
You used to put in freight as the first thing when receiving an order, so that the amount was split amongst all the items in the order, but you don't appear to be able to do that now.
This is how acquisitions used to work...

I haven't seen plans to put it back, but perhaps Liblime might have a view on that. I've yet to see a contributed version of Acquisitions that had all of these features working at the same time. 3.0 Acquisitions represents the only Acquisitions in a released version that I've seen where all the functionality is actually usable. I suspect that it works for Katipo and others because they run custom code, and/or custom templates, rather than the mainline Koha releases.
