That would be great, thanks Dale. These use the offline feature in R6?

Thanks,

Tom,

We have apps already developed that add order comments (UPS/FedEx
tracking
numbers) and special charge lines (freight charges) at shipment time.
While they are setup to automatically generate through the Offline
Shipping
Enhancement, you could use them as templates to develop your own.

Let me know if you want them.  I can e-mail you PDF's of the source
listings.

Thanks everyone.

We thought about doing it that way.  Can anyone see any drawbacks to
entering the material surcharge as a SPECIAL CHARGE and just type in the
qty & price in a comments area?  Seems like either way, we need to
calculate product weights at shipment time or at least before invoicing.
Hopefully this will be temporary. :0)

Any more feedback appreciated.

Tom

Subject: RE: Surcharges

Tom,

We're doing it, but it is a very manual operation. We have metal
surcharges
on certain alloys that use raw materials that tend to flucuate. We have
created separate metal surcharge items (MS-<alloy>, for example) that
are
"manufactured" and "inventory" items. They are NOT added to the BOM of
the
end item, since our customers want to see the surcharge separate from
the
"normal" part sales price. (They are booking these expenses on their P&L
in
separate accounts from the sales price of the items they buy.)
Therefore,
when we log an order, we have to log each surcharge line item where
appropriate. Conversely, when we ship the end item, we also have to
"ship"
the surcharge line item. Surcharge is based on casting weight, so if we
ship
5 pieces of a 10-piece release, and the castings weight 100 lbs each, we
have to "ship" 500 lbs of the 1000-lb surcharge release line item.

Very, very messy and manual operation, but the only way we could get the
information to the customer the way they wanted to see it. MAPICS, of
course, applies the "surcharge" concept to the entire order, not to
individual line items, and invoices it with the first items invoiced...

Good luck. It is working for us, but it was a bit of a hassle to get it
going in the first place.

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
