# Order Handling ### 1. Cost per Order A flat cost is applied once to every order, regardless of the number of items.

### 2. Cost per Item A cost applied to each individual item within an order.

You can use either one or both. If both are provided, the total handling cost is cumulative. **Example** * Cost per order = 10 * Cost per item = 5 * The order contains 3 items **Total handling cost = 10 + (3 × 5) = 25** #### Important After entering the cost values, make sure to **Save**, and then click **Recalculate Handling Cost** (top-right corner) for the updated cost to reflect in the Profit & Loss table. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
