After executing the Get Shipment Lines function on the Sales Invoice, the system updates the unit price of the Catch Weight item in the Unit Price Excl. VAT field based on the weight quantities defined on the Document Weight Lines and the price per Catch Weight unit of measure specified on the Sales Price List.


When the Catch Weight items are partially shipped or invoiced, the cost on the sales invoice is updated based on the weight quantity on the posted sales shipment or invoice lines.

The cost is updated similarly while performing the Get Return Receipt Lines action on the Sales Credit Memos created from the Sales Return Orders.

The system calculates and distributes the item charges based on the following formula: (Shipment line Quantity / Total Quantity of all shipment lines) X Total Item Charge Amount For example,

Then the system applies the formula as follows:

These calculated values are reflected in the Cost Amount (Non-Invtbl.) field on the relevant value entries.


If the same line includes multiple lots, the system performs the same calculation based on the weight quantity of each lot and sums the amounts for the complete line.

If only one line exists and it is a catch weight item, the system assigns the entire item charge to that line. If that line includes multiple lots, the system calculates and distributes the charge across lots using the same weight-based calculation.


This functionality works similarly for the sales credit memos.
