Category Settings

Not every product from distributors has gross weight information available. Some distributors only supply us with the net weight of products (that is, the weight of the actual product without packaging & accessories). Some distributors don't give us any weight whatsoever! The Category Settings allow you to put a safety net in place when there's no weight information available.

Weight(g)

Feature	What it does
Use	This will enable the manually entered weight when there is no product weight available.
Default	Enter the weight you want to use for products with no weight available. It has been separated into categories to allow you to fine tune your assumptions - for example, Cables should obviously weigh less than Printers.
Override	If this is selected, all CNet & Distributor weight information will be ignore in favor of the manually entered value.

All weights should be entered in grams.

Net weight(g)

Feature	What it does
Use	This will enable the adjustment of the weight where only net weights are available.
Modifier	Enter a numerical value to affect the net weight.
Modifier type	This will change the behavior of the modifier. 'Multiply with' will multiply the net weight by the number in the 'Modifier' field. 'Add to' will add the net weight to the number in the 'Modifier' field.

Cost for export

Unfortunately, the calculations for delivery cost based on weight are too complex to be run & when exports are generated. This means if you want to export different costs of shipping for different items, you must enter a general delivery cost for the product category.

Feature	Cost for export
Use	this will enable the cost of delivery to be exported by category.
Cost for export	Enter the cost of delivery for products in that category - this will only affect the price shown on exports.
