SubmitOrder and shipping/tax costs

[Adam Scholfield]

we are submiting orders via the API; it doesn't seem to have an option for setting the full shipping and tax amounts per order. i see a taxcost and shippingcost on each OrderLineItemItem but these don't seem to be reflected in the final order on the "Invoice Details" page on the CA dashboard. i have read some posts leading me to believe that the shipping and taxes are actually computed by CA after the order is submitted; is this the case and is there a way around this?

That is correct.  You submit the details at the Line Item level and when the Order is stored the totals are calculated.

Thank you for your help Andy but it's still not working. I put in my shipping and tax costs into the first line item but it's still not calculating my total correctly in the order detail page on the CA dashboard. the following is the xml i am sending and a screenshot of how it shows up on the dashboard maybe i am missing somthing?
