# Add transport order cost lines

You can add transport costs and additional surcharges to a transport order. When a transport order is released, a check is made whether transport costs were added. Based on the **Cost Warning** setting in the Transport and Deliveries setup, a warning or error appears when no cost lines are found. Transport order cost lines can also be added from the delivery trip.

## Steps

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Transport Orders**, and click the relevant link.
2. Select a transport order from the list and click **Edit** to open it.
3. Click **Transport Cost** in the **Home** group to open the **Transport Costs** page.
4. Complete the following fields and click **Refresh Transport Costs**:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Type | Specify the type of cost line: **Cost Component** or **Cost Component Template**. |
| No. | Specify the cost component code or the cost component template code. |
| Amount | Based on the type: when **Cost Component**, enter the amount manually. When **Cost Component Template**, the amount is calculated automatically as the sum of all components defined in the template. |
| Currency Code | Specify the currency code for the cost components. When left blank, the local currency is used. |
| G/L Account | Not editable. Contains the G/L account used when creating a purchase invoice line. |

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> - When a cost component template is added, the calculation runs based on the components in the cost overview.
> - When a cost component template is added before the applicable cost components, the calculation does not start automatically.

## Result

The **Refresh Transport Costs** function:

- Recalculates all present cost component templates. Use this when transport costs change after a cost template has been added.
- Runs automatically when a transport order is released to ensure all available transport costs are calculated.
