Re: Surcharges

Tom,

We don't have that particular need, but we have similar requirements that
require that we examine the order after it's in the system to determine
special charges and other activities.  We used the end of order user exits
UMBSOH2R and UMBOFL2R to examine the entire order, then do our special
maintenance to the order, such as force item substitutions, auto-add
comments based on what was ordered, special work with kits, and so on.

We also do discounts on shipments during the pick-pack-ship process (well,
actually through the OFFSHIP process) to add discounts at shipment time, so
the discount is only for what was shipped.  That may be more practical,
depending on how you assign your surcharges - up front or at shipment time.

Hello All,



We have a plastics blow-molding plant that is experiencing some major
increases in raw material (resin) costs right now.  We would like to
implement a surcharge in COM based on part weight.  Anyone doing
something like this or have any ideas?



Thanks,



Tom Wood
