To bill customers for miscellaneous charge items, most companies create products in Product Maintenance that represent these charges. These placeholder products let you add as many miscellaneous charges to a sales order as you need to.
Some examples of miscellaneous charge items include the following:
Assembly charges
Returned check fees
Minimum order charges
Service charges
You can also apply handling charges on the Totals tab, but entering miscellaneous charges on the Body tab as products allows you to categorize and report on charges more precisely.
To enter a miscellaneous charge item on a sales order:
Create or open a sales order and display the order's Body tab.
In the Qty/Unit column, enter a quantity of 1.
In the Product Description column, enter the miscellaneous charge item. You can include one or more miscellaneous charge items on an order along with other products.
Complete the order as usual.
