What are Additional Charges?

Additional charges allow you to add items to your invoice that are not from the inventory. These charges may be useful to charge things such as fuel surcharge, product repacks, quality control inspections, and any other item that is not received in the inventory.

Create an Additional Charge

Before using additional charges, you need to create them in your system. To create a new additional charge, do the following instructions:

1. Go to Setup and select Settings.

Manually add Charges to an Invoice

To add additional charges, follow these steps:

1. Create a new invoice or edit an existing invoice under "Order Entry" and the subtab "Add Order".

2. Fill all the information required in the blanks and click on "Save".

3. Once you have added the product needed, Click on the "Add Additional Charges" link located under the order total amount (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+g).

4. The system will open a window listing that shows available additional charges. Enter the dollar amount by clicking on the box next to "Description". Negative values can also be entered in the amount field as long as they are not higher than the total value since Komet doesn't allow negative balances. To enter a negative value, just type in a minus symbol (-) followed by the dollar amount; the system will automatically calculate the total that will be reflected on the invoice

5. Enter a description for the additional charges, so your customer can have more details about it.  

6. Once you are done, click on the "Close" button.

7.  The additional charge will be added to the invoice as a separate line item. Besides, the system will display the additional charges in the printed invoice with their description.

Automatic Additional Charges

After the user makes the additional charges automatic, Komet will calculate the additional charges taking into account the information previously configured.

To make your Additional Charges automatic, please refer to Automatic Additional Charges. 

For users to see the Additional Charges automatically, they should create an invoice and add the units needed.
