Weights at item level for packaging and shipping estimates
I'm a new user and am a manufacturer. We sell our products wholesale. We currently use a couple of different couriers that don't integrate with Zoho and a few different box sizes.
Currently, I raise the SO, Invoice, Packaging slip etc. in Zoho and book the shipping separately and enter the shipping details from my booking manually into Zoho. But, I end up under-quoting the shipping to the customer.
Is it possible to enter the weight for each item into Zoho and have it added up in the Packing slip or invoice or anywhere else within the system so I can use that to more accurately quote courier charges to my customers? I'd like to have this work for composite items as well as I have 4-5 composite items too.
I've also raised this in the Forum: https://forums.zoho.com/topic/adding-weights-for-items#2266000009148498

i am currently doing my own workaround for this and i cant believe i am having to do it myself.
has this been reviewed - are we going to get it any time soon? -

this is a huge oversight that it is not present. i would even benefit from a staged rollout on this. even if you just added the fields against the items there would be a proper place to store it rather than custom fields. that way when i enter the data at least i am entering it in the right place rather than having to migrate from custom field to data field at some point in the future.
good call on composite items!
it needs unit of measure to go with it as well.
