Save shipping cost when place order

Feature request from kassner, posted on GitHub Jan 30, 2015

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is widely used, but I have some clients where the shipping cost is not the same that is charged from their customers. I often see M1 shipping modules with $rate->setCost(x.xx), but that information is not saved anywhere.

Can this be added to Magento 2 at least? Should I send a pull request?

Thanks!

Hi @kassner, could you provide here business cases where it can be used?

@vpelipenko I'm not sure what are you expecting me to reply here, but it's pretty straight forward: some of my clients charge more for the shipping than it actually costs for them, but today is impossible to know the real cost of an order, since only the amount (which is displayed and billied) is saved on sales_flat_order.

@kassner, thanks for explanation. Look like it will be valuable improvement. Could you create a pull request for that?

@kassner, there is no strict deadline, it is up to you. But please confirm, that you will work on it and provide approximate dates when you expect to see it ready. Also if you have any questions about implementation from product side, please, ask here.
