Process Will Call Transaction
Will Call is a unique feature that allows you to setup products to be picked up based on the address of the location(or warehouse). In general, tax computations for every sales order transactions are always based on where the product will be delivered, that is the Ship to Address. For the Will Call feature however, taxes are computed based on the address of the location. You may setup the tax percentage to be paid by the customer.
This feature is applicable on sales quote, sales order, sales invoices, RMAs and credit memos.
