There is a line detail function in the client to enter a special line.
BPCS special charges are driven via Item Class references.

i.e. 
create an Item Class code e.g Freight and Handling to carry the charge
create an order line as a special line.
Enter the Item class reference in the charge code field on the order
line.
Enter the amount in the price field.
