Entering Miscellaneous Charge Items

To bill customers for miscellaneous charge items, most companies create products in Product Maintenance that represent these charges. These placeholder products let you add as many miscellaneous charges to a sales order as you need to. Some examples of miscellaneous charge items include:

Assembly charges.
Returned check fees.
Minimum order charges.
Service charges.

You can also apply handling charges on the Totals screen, but entering miscellaneous charges on the Body screen as products allows you to categorize and report on charges more precisely.

To enter a miscellaneous charge item on a sales order:

Create or open a sales order and display the Body screen.
In the Qty/Unit field, specify the item's quantity and unit of measure.
In the Product Description field, enter the miscellaneous charge item. For example, enter Misc Service Charges as the description.
When you have finished entering all the line items, press Esc and process the order as usual.
