This price does not affect the configuration of MegaProduct, unless you specify the module that this figure is used. If you add a price, this figure will be displayed in the list of products, but not taken into account to calculate the cost of the item.  Yes it is very important to configure are the rules since taxes than prices without taxes will be introduced in megaproduct, but then the % indicated in this section will be added to the total cost.

-Transport: When you set the transport tab you must take into account that it will only be necessary to indicate here the measurements and weight of your product if they do not depend on megaproduct options.  If they depend on the options chosen by the customer in the module must indicate it there himself.
