Product - Invoicing

Invoicing Tab

In this tab, you are selecting the “Goods In Charge by Line” and the “Storage Charge” invoice rate to charge for this specific product

All products need to have a charge rate applied even if the rate is a nil charge.

 

The screen shows two category options


Goods In Charge by Line

This is the charge made when the goods are received into the warehouse.

it is possible to have multiple charges for goods in charge and you can select during the admin stage of finalising the pre-advice receipt which goods inwards charge you wish to use.

The default will be the default charge will always be shown as the default on this form, however should the customer is performing transfers the DEFAULT charge will be used. So make sure you set this based on the default for transfers.

The ability to change the charge on the goods inwards is designed for customers who for example are charged pallet goods in charges but have some cases returned from an order and the case charge is then used to reland the small quantity being returned.

You can only select charges which have been authorised to “USE” on the customer record. When selected it will add it to this form, where only a single charge exists you will not have to choose it simply enters it on the form and then marks it as default.

In the above example there are two charges the default is the case charge, if you were receiving a container into the warehouse you may wish to change this to the pallet charge.

Multiplier

This allows you to set a standard charge for a standard item for the customer

e.g. Standard Case is 1.00 but you may receive a double sized case or a keg and you want to charge multiples of the standard case. Double sized cases may be awkward to store so you could have the multiplier as 2.5 this means on the above example the charge of 1.00 per case would alter to 2.5 per case

Storage Charge

This is the ongoing charge made for the storage of the items within the warehouse.

In general you will quote your customer per case per week or per pallet per week (95% of charges follow this concept)

This is based on “per case or part thereof” or “per pallet or part thereof” these are fairly standard for those customers who are a member of a recognised trade organisation such as the UKWA as their terms and conditions cover these as normal use items.

This terminology means that we round up the the next whole item for case or pallet. e.g You have 120 cases per pallet and you have 130 cases in stock, you charge by the pallet therefor this would be 2 pallets charged and 120 or less would be charged 1 pallet or less.

You should only ever have a single live and active storage charge as there is no mechanism to make a choice the system will automatically output the charges on the charge basis every day/week/month as per the storage charge.

The system allows you to setup new charges and new secondary charges on the product but will always use the oldest active charge, you can utilise this method if you are performing a rate change where you can set new charges up and then switch off the older charge……….. (Jan 2024) THIS POSSIBILITY IS BEING WITHDRAWN and going forward this will only allow a single charge as this ability was confusing customers as to which charge would be used nor were they removing the older charge and wondering why the lower rate was still being applied.

Multiplier

This allows you to set a standard charge for a standard item for the customer

e.g. Standard Case is 1.00 but you may receive a double sized case or a keg and you want to charge multiples of the standard case. Double sized cases may be awkward to store so you could have the multiplier as 2.5 this means on the above example the charge of 1.00 per case would alter to 2.5 per case
