That step is still in 3.0, but the shipping costs code was very buggy
so that specific field was removed ... 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'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.

Cheers,
