MANAGE LINE CHARGE TYPES

Use this screen to set up codes for miscellaneous line charges that can appear on a purchase order, requisition, or sales order. Miscellaneous charges are generally items ordered that are not classified as parts, services, or goods. These charges can include items such as freight, shipping, and delivery. This screen defaults the same settings as the Manage Line Charge Types screen in Costpoint Sales Order Entry Controls, and vice versa.

Set up this function when Costpoint Purchasing, Procurement Planning, and Sales Order Entry is initialized and maintain it to include codes for new charges or modifications to existing charges. You must establish miscellaneous charge types in this function before they can be entered on a purchase order, requisition or sales order.
