The invoicing application

In Chapter 2, A Sample Application, we introduced invoicing for an add-on solution. For the solution in this chapter, we'll take this one step further.

Our company is invoicing different logistics services such as:

  • Handling costs for storage receipt and shipments.
  • Storage costs for the period we keep the inventory.
  • Costs for transporting the products to the end consumer.
