Re: Item field for volatile content cost

We've done something similar, however we created items for each of our 
surcharges to add to each invoice. We have a program that adds the surcharge 
lines at night to each new order where applicable. At Billing time, we 
recalculate the correct amounts since the surcharges change monthly. If you 
would like more information, we can chat offline.
