Item Surcharges (ticpr1110m000)

Field Information

Cost Calculation Code

cost calculation code

Item Group

item group

Note: You can only define a surcharge for an item group when there is no item selected. Surcharges by item have higher priority than surcharges by item group during cost-price calculation.

Item

The item to which the surcharge applies. You can only maintain surcharges by item if the item group is not entered, and if the Surcharges by Item check box in the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session is selected.

Note: The item type must be Manufactured, Purchased, or Generic.

Booking Triggered By

If valuation prices are calculated, you must determine at which moment the surcharge is used in the calculation. The relevant surcharge will be added to the Valuation Prices at the moment the value of the Booking Triggered By is valid.

Note: In standard cost valuation, surcharges are taken into account regardless of whether the surcharge is triggered by issue or receipt.

Warehouse

The warehouse to which the item surcharge applies.

You cannot define an item surcharge if:

• The Surcharges by Warehouse check box is not selected in the Item - Costing (ticpr0107m000) session.
• The Cost Calculation Code is of the Sales Price type.

Sequence Number

Calculation Line Type

The calculation line types are used to structure the price calculation. These structures are used in all reports that print price structures. In the price calculations the surcharges are calculated last. Surcharges are calculated in order of their sequence.

Allowed values

• Surcharge

  This is the regular line type for defining surcharges.

• Subtotal

  The surchargers are displayed as a subtotal on printed reports.

• Cumulative Cost

  Both the surcharges of the previous period and the scheduled surcharges for the next period are taken into account during calculation and are printed on report as a total.

Surcharge Method

The method of calculating the item surcharge.

Allowed values

Fixed Amount

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.

Variable Cost

Specifies whether the project surcharges are variable or fixed.

If this check box is selected, the surcharge is considered a variable cost. Otherwise, it is considered a fixed cost.

Note: Fixed costs are only included in the standard cost of a project if the Include Fixed Costs in Project Valuation parameter is selected.

Currency

The currency in which the surcharge is expressed.

Surcharge Amount

The item surcharge expressed as an amount.

You can enter a standard cost surcharge in this field, if:

• The Calculation Line Type field is Surcharge.
• The Surcharge Method field is Fixed Amount

Surcharge Percentage

The item surcharge expressed as a percentage.

You can enter a surcharge percentage in this field, if:

• The Calculation Line Type field is Surcharge.
• The Surcharge Method field is of Total Costs, of Added Costs, Selective (Added Costs), or Selective (Total Costs).

Surcharge Component

The cost component to which the item surcharge is linked.

You must select the desired cost component under which the computed standard cost surcharge is stored. Only the following cost components types are allowed:

• Surcharge
• Obsolete

Surcharge Bases Present

If this check box is selected, a surcharge base is defined in the Item Surcharge Base (ticpr1120m000) session.
