This option will allow you to view, amend, create, copy or delete uplift codes. Uplift codes are used to apply freight charges, insurance etc to purchase orders.
Create one record for each additional cost specification. If two suppliers charge the same type of cost at different rates or in different ways, then it will be necessary to set up multiple codes, due to the differing parameters required against each one.
Note: It is possible for uplifts to be overridden under specific circumstances, see separate topic Duty code override for further details.
