Surcharge Method

The method of calculating the surcharge for the assembly line.

If you select Selective (Total Costs) or Selective (Added Costs), you must define the surcharge base to which the calculation applies in the Assembly Line Surcharge Bases (ticpr1190m000) session.

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.

Surcharge Percentage

The surcharge expressed as a percentage.

You can enter a surcharge percentage in this field, if the Surcharge Method field has one of the following values:

• of Total Costs
• of Added Costs
• Selective (Total Costs)
• Selective (Total Costs)

Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost or valuation price, for example, handling costs or inspection costs. A surcharge serves as a discount if the amount or percentage entered is a negative value.

Surcharge Component

The cost component to which the assembly line's surcharge is linked.

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.

Surcharge Bases Present

If this check box is selected, a surcharge base is defined in the Assembly Line Surcharge Bases (ticpr1190m000) session.

Surcharge Amount

The surcharge expressed as an amount. You can enter an amount in this field, if the Surcharge Method field is Fixed Amount.

Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost or valuation price, for example, handling costs or inspection costs. A surcharge serves as a discount if the amount or percentage entered is a negative value.
