Answer 1

In addition to the pre-defined amounts that you can enter on the setup screen for freight, you could consider a stored procedure to add an amount to the sales order upon adding the sales order.
For example, for one client we have they wanted to add a handling charge based on the total value of the sales order, for example
$100 or under - $5.00
200 - 300 - $7.00
etc.
To accomlish this, we created a user table with the ranges and handling charges (so it could be maintained but the client in the future) and a stored procedure to look at this table and add the value to the freight code called handling upon adding or updating of a sales order.
This could work easily on a quote also but not easily on an invoice since the adding of an invoice creates journal entries immediately upon an add and before the stored procedure could fire.
Hope this helps and gives you some ideas.
