1. Log into nShift Portal.
   
   
2. Go to Ship > Configuration > Price Calculation in the top menu.
   
   
3. Locate the relevant file and choose Edit. 
   
   
   
   
4. The current file is placed under Published. Choose Clone in drafts. This will make a copy of your file and place it under Drafts so you can edit it without affecting the live file.
   
   
   
   
5. You will now see a version of the file under Drafts. Click on the three dots and choose Edit.
   
   
   
   
6. Go to the Fees/Discounts tab and click New.
   
   
7. Select Fee from the Type drop-down list. 
   
   
8. Name your fee in a way so you can remember what it does, eg. "Oil fee", "Weight fee", etc.
   
   
9. Fill in a value in the Order field. If you have multiple indicators, they will be applied according to the value in the order field. The priority is in ascending order, so 1 is applied before 2, 2 before 3, etc.
   
   
10. Choose an Entry Interval from the drop-down list. It must always match what you set as Measurement in the Calculation type section under the Main tab. In this example, it is set to Weight.
    
    
11. Set the Indicator. This decides whether the fee value is a fixed sum or is applied as a percentage. In this example, we are applying a percentage.
    
    
12. Choose To base value under Basis.
    
    
13. Click Add in the Intervals (Weight) section and fill in the From and To values with 0 and * as shown in the image below. 
    
    
14. Click Add in the Prices section.
    
    
15. Set the Route to All and add 5 in the Percentage field.  
    
    
16. Click Save at the top of the page.
    
    
17. Click Complete to go back to the Files overview page and publish the file under Drafts. A fee of 5% is now added to all base prices.
