What are Additional Charges?

Additional charges mean adding costs to your invoice for things beyond your regular inventory. Think of it as a way to bill for:

  • Extra fees: Like fuel surcharges or late payment penalties.

  • Services: Such as product repackaging or quality control inspections.

  • One-off costs: For anything not typically tracked in your inventory.

Important Information

  • If you selected a specific amount ($), the system will save the Additional charge after saving the invoice information without adding any line in units. 

  • If you selected percentage, the system will only display the additional charge after selecting a line in units.

  • If you edit an Additional Charge and add a specific value after it was calculated using a percentage configured, the system will not recalculate the additional charge automatically anymore using the percentage. It will only display the specific amounts that you entered.
