Configurate the 'Carriage By Area and Total' system table:

There is also a column for 'Customer', so a carriage rule can be set up for a specific customer, and the area is left blank.

There is now an option for the additional carriage in carriage type to replace the carriage in despatch method instead of adding it.

There is also an option to add carriage to quotations in same way as it is added to orders ie there is a new parameter called ‘Add Carriage At Quotation Entry’.

Blind Details > Blind Types

There is a new flag in the blind type record called 'Exclude From Carriage Charge' which defaults to false.
At the 'Create Invoice' stage, if all of the blinds on the order have blind type 'Exclude From Carriage' = true, carriage is not added to the order.
