MISCELLANEOUS CHARGES

Use this subtask to enter miscellaneous charges that you want to print and post on your milestone/percent complete bills. You can include up to three of these additional charges on a bill. Each will appear on a separate line in the footer of the bill and is added to the Current Amt Due to form the Invoice Total. Commonly used miscellaneous charges are shipping and handling. The Previous Amt Billed does not include miscellaneous charges; you must manually keep track of any previously billed miscellaneous charges.

You must first set up miscellaneous charges in the Maintain Other Charges screen (Projects » Billing » Controls). The other charge code created on that screen will be used in this subtask. The charge description, account, and organization are all linked to this code. You can also use this subtask to apply sales tax/VATs to the invoice. By designating a sales tax code, you can apply sales tax to your invoice line total. You can create tax codes in the Maintain Sales/Value Added Tax screen (Others » System Administration » System Codes).
