Title: "Other" field for SO
Post by Vman on 02/03/05 at 07:50:32

I would like to have an additional "Other" field added to sales orders along with Tax and Shipping charges. We ship overseas, and many times receive payments via wire transfer. This involves charging the customer a transfer fee (so that when the money is received by our bank, the proper amount is received). Our operations person wants to keep this fee seperate from shipping, so it has been entered as a non-stocked part on the S/O, but this then appears on the packing list, which is less than desireable.

You can keep the line item off the packing list by not releasing it and saying no to "print unreleased lines" before printing the packing list, then going back in to SO-E to release the non-stocked line before invoicing.

True, but I believe there are some costing/accounting issues with having the fee listed as a line item on the sales order. As a non-stocked item, it should not effect COGS, but it may screw up your profit percentage.
I may be wrong, as I don't get involved with the accounting end (we don't use DBA's accounting module).

We do something similar with "Handling Charges" associated with shipping. The class code for our non-counted part uses an account in the "other income" section of the P&L for a sales account. That way it does not affect the margin for sales of product.

We don't use DBA's accounting modules. I will have to look at the class codes.
