Purpose

Maintain additional charges for purchase orders.

Overview

Use Purchase Additional Charge Maintenance to enter new purchase additional charges, or view, update, or delete existing charges. A purchase additional charge can be used as a purchase order charge or as an additional line item charge.

Creating Purchase Additional Charges

To create a purchase additional charge:

  1. Click the New button in the ribbon.

  2. Enter a charge type and description of the charge. You can also enter a default comment for the charge.

  3. Select whether the additional charge is used for purchase orders only, returns only, or both.

  4. Select the amount type for the additional charge. For information on the amount types, see Purchase Additional Charges and Landed Cost FAQ.

  5. Select whether the charge is positive or negative. Selecting a negative charge will assign a negative amount each time the additional charge is entered in Purchase Order Maintenance.

  6. Select the supplier type. Select PO if the charge belongs to the supplier for the purchase order. Select Other if the charge belongs to a supplier other than the purchase order supplier. If you select Other, you must also enter a supplier.

  7. Select the Include in Landed Cost check box if you want the additional charge to be allocated among the products on purchase orders. This also eliminates the need for a separate account mask to be entered for the additional charge (because the general ledger account distribution will follow what is set up for the products).

  8. Select the Freight Charge check box if the charge is a freight charge. You can also specify whether the charge can be updated in the warehouse when the order is received, and whether the charge is displayed separately on the purchase order.

  9. If the charge will be included in duty basis for another charge that is used in harmonization charges, select the Include in Duty Basis check box.

  10. Select the Used in Harmonization Charges check box if the charge will be included in harmonization charges. This functions in conjunction with Harmonization Code Maintenance. For more information, see Implementing Duty Calculations FAQ. If the charge will include other charges in the duty basis, select the Include Charges in Duty Basis check box.

  11. If VAT must be calculated for the charge for specific countries, click the VAT tab, and enter country-specific VAT information. If you also want to set up specific VAT general ledger accounts for the charge, click the VAT Accts tab, and enter the accounts.

  12. Click the OK button in the ribbon to save the new charge. The purchase additional charge is created.
