I've got a freight plugin working well for talking to NZ Post's API.
I am now just considering options for streamlining the user experience.
The customer uses branded courier bags supplied by the courier company - A4, A5, A4 with bubbles, etc. And currently, they have these as "obsolete" parts in their inventory - they don't show up on price lists, but they can still buy them and hold the stock.
We've got the logic working that if a part number is added to the S/O that matches a Freight Description, that we add a Freight item, complete with volume.
So my question is: do we have to use a pre-defined freight descriptions, or can I synthesise them "on the fly"?
This would allow them to just add new courier packaging to inventory, and use that as the "freight description", instead of having to enter the same thing in multiple places.
