5. Click OK to save.

Use the COD calculator

Using the COD calculator, you can use Price and a factor to calculate the total COD value. (Not supported by all carriers).

1. In nShift On-premises, go to Setup and navigate to the level where you want to use the COD calculator.
   
   
2. Right-click in the pane on the right and choose New > COD Calculator.
   
   
3. Fill in the values you want.
   - Discount in percent - only the freight cost.
   - Extra fee - if the carrier requires an extra fee for handling the COD.
   - Add VAT - applies to the entire shipment.
   
   
   
   
4. Click OK to save. 
   
   
5. When entering the COD amount on the shipment, it will automatically be updated with the factors from the COD calculator. 

Create a shipment with COD

In the production view in nShift On-premises, you have an area at the bottom called COD. To send a shipment with COD, you must enter the amount as shown in the picture below. Notice that it will only work if the carrier supports COD shipments, and some carriers also require that you use a COD add-on service. 

The COD account will only change automatically on the receiver address when you select another country. If the new country does not exist in the COD Setup Item, the last value will be used.
