Adding charges based on Weight in Landed cost Voucher

Hi There,
Do you know if there is any way to make the landed cost voucher add the charges based on weight instead of valuation or quantity. There is a field “net weight” on item, so that info is already there. Actually most of transport charges are based on weight instead of valuation or quantity. It would be a very useful thing to do.
If not possible, any work around that.

Best,

François

You can do this using custom script, like this,
rate_per_weight_unit is transport charges per kg(or unit)
rate_per_weight_unit * net_weight of item is equal to transporter charges for one item

cur_frm.cscript.rate_per_weight_unit = function(doc, cdt, cdn) {
    var item = frappe.get_doc(cdt, cdn);
    var rate = item.rate_per_weight_unit * item.net_weight;
    frappe.model.set_value(cdt, cdn, "rate", rate);
};
