BPCS & Surcharges

[SRohatgi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

If you use OLM in BPCS then this is very simple to setup. We are on 
version 8.1 and uses all kinds of special line charges. You can setup any 
king of charge e.f fixed price, based on dollar/weight value, based on 
unit of measure or any kind of percentage . It really works well down to 
customer/ship to level. We use this functionality in both directions on 
our invoices. We often ship partial orders but ship confirm (dispatch in 
V8.1) does the final calculation based on what is actually shipped and 
creates a special line in ECS and BBL for billing. 

But I must warn you that OLM is not very stable on the version you are on 
and not sure to what extent you can use this in V6.1.02.

Let me if you requires more information on it.
