excluding 1st

This field is only available if you select the Per Amount, Per Unit, Per Unit Weight, or Per Unit Volume radio button, and the Broken Case Charge check box is cleared. This field is disabled if you select the Excise Tax radio button.

Broken Case Charge

Select this check box if the charge will be assessed on an item charge when a product is sold in a non-default selling unit of measure. Select an amount type to associate with the broken case charge. You may want to limit this type of additional charge to a per unit charge because the intent is to charge an additional amount for the opening of pre-packed cases. This check box is only enabled if the Item Charge radio button is selected. A negative broken case charge can be used for return orders if broken case charges were used for associated sales orders.

Calculate for Whole Increments Only

Select this check box to calculate the additional charge as a multiple of the amount entered in the Amount field. This check box is only available if you select the Per Amount, Per Unit, Per Unit Weight, or Per Unit Volume radio button. This check box is disabled if you select the Excise Tax radio button.

Example You create a per amount automatic additional charge of 1 for every 25. If an order is for 207 and this check box is cleared, the charge is calculated as 207/25 = 8.28. However, if you select this check box, the same additional charge is calculated as 8, which is a multiple of 1.

Net Charge

Select this check box if the additional charge should be applied based on the net amount after all additional charges are applied for which this check box is not selected. This check box is only available if you select the Per Amount radio button.

Example You set up two automatic additional charges each for -$1.00 for every $100 (a 1% discount). You select this check box for only one of the charges. For a $100,000 order, the charges are calculated as follows:

  1. For the additional charge for which the Net Charge check box is cleared, the additional charge is calculated as a $1,000 discount.

  2. For the additional charge for which the Net Charge check box is selected, the additional charge is calculated as a $990 discount because the charge is calculated based on the gross amount of $100,000 minus the first charge of $1,000 (100,000-1,000=99,000).

Beverage Bottle Size

Enter a beverage bottle size for which to create an automatic broken case charge, and enter a volume unit of measure for the bottle size, or click the Lookup button to select a volume unit of measure. These fields are only enabled if the Broken Case Charge check box is selected.
