In order to apply this charge you must first configure the system by following these steps:

1. Go to Setup > Settings > Financial Settings.
   
   
   
   
   1.1 If  If you're running in multi-location mode go to Setup>Locations. Choose the location and click on Edit, in the Actions column. Follow the steps below.
   
   
   
   
   
2.  Under the "Fuel Surcharge" tab enter the fuel surcharge rate amount per port of origin and box type.
   
   
   
   
3.  To add a new rate per port of origin and box, use the fields located above the summary table, then click on the Add green button.
   
   

4. To edit or delete the information that is already saved, you can go under the "Actions" column and click on one of the options depending on what you want to do.

   Once you are done entering your Fuel Surcharges per Box Type and Origin, the only thing left is activating this setting in your customer's accounts, for those that apply. To do so, please follow this link Customer "Advanced" Setup.

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
10 QB of Carn Yellow Fancy
7 HB of Rose White 60 cm

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
10 QB of Carn Yellow Fancy x $1.5/QB = $15
7 HB of Rose White 60 cm x $2/HB = $14
The total fuel surcharge for the order will be $4 + $15 + $14 = $33

If you enable the option "Show FOB Price", the system will display the Fuel Surcharge and Unit Price as one

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.

You may agree with your customer to do not charge the Fuel Surcharge when the invoice comes from a Standing Order. For doing that, check the box Exclude Standing Orders in the Fuel Surcharge tab, and click on Save.
