RE: BPCS & Surcharges

[DeeDee Virgei <DeeDee.Virgei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We too are using surcharges in some cases to handle the high flux in steel
prices...  Currently we are adding special lines to these orders (actually
added a unique item class, 'SC', to better identify them).  Normally we put
in a zero charge amount during order enter then add (edit) the charge during
billing.  We ended up re-rolling our frozen const due to the steel price
changes; hence, the 'SC' code is setup to hit the sales account...  We did
not modify BPCS.

Subject: BPCS & Surcharges


We need to start adding surcharges for iron and steel as a separate
charge/line to our products when we invoice, so we were wondering how others
add surcharges to invoices. Any suggestions they would be greatly
appreciated we need to show the surcharges as a separate line on the
invoice. We've considered entering them during order entry but because our
surcharge is by the pound we would need to calculate the weight for each
order manually to add the surcharge and then rely on the warehouse to pick
confirm the surcharge properly on partial ship orders.  Does anyone know of
any 3rd party packages that may help us here?

We are on BPCS 6.1.02 full CS.

Thanks

Bill
