Once the fuel surcharge rate amount has been specified, the system will automatically apply this as an additional charge to any invoice for the customers that have the "Charge Fuel Surcharge" option enabled. This additional charge will be displayed as a separate line item on the invoice. In addition to this on the Add Order screen, when clicking on the "Edit" option under the "Actions" column a "FOB" price field will show. The "FOB" shows the unit price plus the fuel cost for each unit invoiced. This will allow the salesperson to provide the FOB price to the customer. Example Let's assume that you create an order for a customer and you add the following: 2 HB of Pom Novelty White If you establish the fuel surcharge at $2.00 per HB and $1.50 per QB, assuming that these items come from the same origin the system will automatically calculate the surcharge as follows: 2 HB of Pom Novelty White x $2/HB = $4 |

If you enable the option "Show FOB Price", the system will display the Fuel Surcharge and Unit Price as one. Notice this option applies for price A as well as for price B. If the FOB is displayed as FOB Price meaning that the Fuel Surcharge and Unit Price are being displayed as one. This depends on whether the customer has the "Show the FOB Price" enabled and the "Charge Fuel Surcharge". Refer to Customer Advanced Setup for more information.  |

If the customer is FOB: you can decide whether the fuel surcharge must be added to the unit price set in the Standing Order when the product is billed through automatic billing or allocation. If the customer is Non-FOB: The system allows to decide whether the fuel surcharge must or must not be included as a separate additional charge. |
