About Surcharges

Surcharges allow you to create a more accurate item price by accounting for fluctuating commodity prices. You may apply surcharges to:

• Purchase orders.
• Vouchers.
• Customer orders.
• Invoices.

Surcharge Calculation

An estimate of commodity cost is built into the cost of the item, and is represented by the Base Price field. This formula accounts for market fluctuation, then applies a surcharge based on the amount of the commodity that is contained in the item, as well as a general surcharge factor.

Unit surcharge = (Actual price - Base Price) * Content Factor * Surcharge Factor
