Delivery Charges Now Available in Request for Purchase
We are excited to introduce a new feature that allows users to add delivery charges in the Request for Purchase (RFP) process. This enhancement provides flexibility in managing delivery costs, whether as a lump sum or a percentage-based charge.
Feature Overview
Flow 1: Default Visibility of Delivery Charges in RFP
Without any configuration, delivery charges will now be visible in the Request for Purchase.
Flow 2: Configurable Delivery Charges for Kitchen and Restaurant Orders
If a user wants to apply delivery charges when raising a purchase order to a kitchen or a restaurant, they can now do so in a configurable manner. Both kitchens and restaurants can set delivery charges (with fix taxes on delivary charges) either as a lump sum or as a percentage of the invoice amount.
How to Enable Flow 2
To enable and configure delivery charges, follow these steps:
Navigate to Kitchen/Restaurant > Inventory Settings > RFP Settings.
Locate the option: “Would you like to fix your other charges if a restaurant or kitchen sends you a purchase order?”
Select “Yes” to enable delivery charge settings.
Choose one of the following options:
Option 1: Apply Uniform Delivery Charges
Set a single delivery charge across all states and cities.
The charge can be applied as either a lump sum or a percentage of the total invoice amount.
Example: If a restaurant in Delhi places an order with a kitchen, a fixed delivery charge (e.g., ₹500) or a percentage-based charge (e.g., 5% of the total invoice) can be applied.
Option 2: State-Based Delivery Charges
Configure different delivery charges for specific states.
Users can apply either a lump sum or a percentage-based charge for all restaurants or kitchens within a particular state.
Example: If applying charges for Gujarat, the user will see all restaurant and kitchen units within Gujarat and can apply a uniform or percentage-based delivery charge to them. For instance, a 3% delivery charge for all restaurants in Gujarat while setting a fixed ₹400 delivery charge for all restaurants in Maharashtra.
Customizing for Specific Restaurants: If the user wants to apply different delivery charges to individual restaurants within a state, they can do so by unticking the restaurant from the "Apply to All" option. This allows them to set specific delivery charges for each restaurant separately based on their preferences.
