Item Surcharges (ticpr1110m100)

Use this session to view and maintain item surcharges. Item surcharges are indirect costs of an item, such as overhead costs, building costs, development costs, or general costs that are not related to material handling. Costs that need to be included in the standard cost by enterprise unit can be defined as item surcharges.

You can define item surcharges as a fixed amount or a percentage of costs. Item surcharges are applied when the standard costs of items are calculated and actualized.

Note: This session is displayed only if the Item Surcharges by Enterprise Unit check box is selected in the Standard Cost Calculation Parameters (ticpr0100m000) session.

Overview

Calculation Line Type

Indicate if the surcharge is used in the calculation of the cost price of an item.

Allowed values

Surcharge: This is the regular line type for defining surcharges.
Subtotal: The surcharge 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.

Note:

If this field is set to Subtotal, the application displays the multi-level cost price on the report and the surcharge is not applied to the calculation lines in the Print Multilevel Cost Calculation (ticpr2420m000) and the Print Cost Calculation (ticpr2410m000) sessions.
If this field is set to Cumulative Cost, the application displays the cumulative cost price and the surcharge is not applied to the calculation lines in the Print Multilevel Cost Calculation (ticpr2420m000), Print Cost Calculation (ticpr2410m000), and Print Estimated Cost Calculation by Project (tipcs3471m000) sessions.

Surcharge Method

The method used to calculate the item surcharge.

Allowed values

Fixed Amount: The surcharge expressed as a fixed amount can be positive or negative. If negative, the item surcharge base discount is considered.
% 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: The surcharge is a percentage of the added costs. Added costs are direct operation costs at the highest level in the product structure and cost surcharges.
% Selective (Total Costs): The surcharge is a percentage of the item's total cost structure. You can use the Surcharge Bases (ticpr1120m000) session to specify the cost components to which the surcharge must be applied.
% Selective (Added Costs): The surcharge is a percentage of selected operation costs of the item.

Variable Cost

If this check box is selected, the surcharge is considered as a variable cost during the standard cost calculation of an item. If this check box is cleared, the surcharge is considered as a fixed cost.

Note: Fixed costs are included in the standard cost of a project only if the Include Fixed Costs in Project Valuation check box is selected in the Project Control Parameters (tipcs0100m00) session.

Surcharge Component

The cost component to which the item surcharge is linked.

Note: You can specify a cost component for which the Cost Type is set to Surcharge.

Note: You can define surcharge bases for the surcharge lines with the Surcharge Method set to Selective (Total Costs) or Selective (Added Costs).
