The surcharge expressed as a fixed amount can be positive or
negative. In the latter case, it is in effect an Item Surcharge Base (ticpr1120m000) discount.
% of Total Costs
The surcharge is a percentage of the total costs as included in
the cost calculation.
Note
LN does
not include surcharges that must be calculated in the surcharge on the total
costs, because they are not known at that moment. The surcharge percentage can
be positive or negative. In the latter case, it is in effect a
discount.
% of Added Costs
This method is similar to the of Total Costs method, except that a surcharge is now only applied to the added costs that are known. Added costs are direct
operation costs at the highest level in the product structure, and cost
surcharges. In this way, you can avoid that surcharges are applied to
surcharges, which is mainly relevant for manufactured parts with a multilevel
product structure.
% Selective (Total Costs)
This method is similar to the of Total Costs method. However, the surcharge basis is not the total standard
cost, but a selection of the item's total cost structure. Run the Item Surcharge Base (ticpr1120m000) session to specify the cost component(s) to which the
surcharge must be applied.
% Selective (Added Costs)
This surcharge method is similar to the of Total Costs method, in which the surcharge basis is not the total standard
cost for the selected cost components, but only the added costs for the cost
components. Refer to the information on the of Added Costs method.
