Surcharges

Use surcharges to add a sum or percentage to the cost price of a product. Examples are profit or risk surcharges. Surcharges can be applied to the full cost price, or to a component of the cost price, such as parts or equipment. Unlike contributions, surcharges are not journalized at the time the costs are realized. The surcharges increase the cost price, so that a uniform sales price can be established.

You can add as many surcharges as you want. When performing calculations in the Parts module or in one of the production modules, you specify the surcharges that apply to each part.

Note: If you add surcharges to an underlying production file, the surcharges of that underlying production file will not be taken into account when calculating the production costs for the purpose of the parent production file.
