Miscellaneous Charges

Most businesses have miscellaneous charges that are added to customer orders. In the past, AutoPower processed miscellaneous charges as a MIS part number in the system. This traditional method is being superseded with a new method that assures miscellaneous charges are posted to the correct general ledger (GL) account, not affect inventory, and in the appropriate situation be billed with its true cost.

The new method supports various types of miscellaneous charges for many purposes, including but not limited to: reimbursable expenses, credits, surcharges, non-inventory parts, towing, freight charges, shipping and handling charges, and more.

Miscellaneous charges should be established with an understanding of accounting and/or with the help of an accountant. These miscellaneous charges are used by the order entry processes to apply charges related to customer order fulfillment and the setup must reflect the costs (if any), the amount to be charged and the general ledger accounts to be posted.

Depending on the type of miscellaneous charge used specific general ledger accounts are associated with each type of miscellaneous charge. This document provides the display screens associated with the setup of this new miscellaneous charge feature.
