Menu Path: Purchasing $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Module Setup $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Additional Charges $Images\bluerarw.gif$ Harmonization Code Maintenance

Purpose

Set up and maintain harmonization codes.

Overview

Use Harmonization Code Maintenance to create, edit, and delete standard harmonization (commodity) codes, and allocate the percentage charge that is associated with each code.

Before you create harmonization codes, create additional charges for the codes in Purchase Additional Charge Maintenance and perform the following:

Select the Used in Harmonization Charges check box.
Select the Percent radio button because harmonization charges are usually based on a percentage.
Select the + radio button to identify a positive charge.
Enter a default percentage in the Default Amount field.
Select the Other or None radio button. You cannot use the PO supplier type because the purchase order supplier is not the recipient of payment for harmonization charges.

You can set up purchase automatic additional charges for harmonization codes in Purchase Automatic Additional Charge Maintenance, which associate countries and additional charges with the harmonization codes.

You can also import harmonization codes in Harmonization Code Import.

If you will be using Intrastat Report, select options for a supplementary unit of measure and/or net mass unit of measure associated with the harmonization code.
Click the OK button in the ribbon. The harmonization code is created.
