Re: Surcharges

Hello Otto,

We had to do the same thing here due to the wacky increases in raw material
prices, especially steel.  We are handling this by adding a special charge
line to each order.  The charge goes on the invoice, it can easily be
summarized for the accounting people (the line is very distinctive), and
it's not hard to do.

It's been working well for us!

I'm looking for ideas regarding passing on surcharges. I've looked at
MAPICS
but their process will not work, because the surcharges we receive is based
on weight of an alloy.

Each part number needs it's own calculation. The customer
will see Alloy surcharges at invoice time. Of course we have the G/L. Also
the sale analyst, by item, needs to be reflective of the surcharge to
reflect the profitability.

What has the group done?  Any ideas?
