About additional charges

You can add charges to invoices and orders for things such as carriage and insurance.

If these are just a one-off cost, you add them to invoices 'on the fly'. If you have charges that you use regularly, then you can set up records for these additional charges here. This will speed up entering invoices and help make sure charges are applied consistently.

Adding additional charges to orders

When you add a line to a sales order:

1. Add a line to the order and select Additional charge as the type.
2. Choose the additional charge record you've created here, and change any of the default values if required.
3. If it's a one-off charge, enter a Name and add the details.

Adding additional charges to invoices

To add a charge to an invoice:

1. Add a line to the invoice and select Charge as the line type.

2. To add an additional charge record:

   1. Select the charge from the Item column.
   2. Edit the line to change any of the defaults.

3. To add a one-off charge:

   1. Enter the details in grid, Enter a name or description in the Description column, and complete the rest of the details.
   2. To add a cost, Edit the line.
