Defining Miscellaneous Charge Defaults
To populate the purchase orders with the correct miscellaneous charge codes or landed cost templates, you must design a series of parameter combinations. When you enter a purchase order that matches the combination of parameters that you defined, the assigned charge code or template is used.
You can set up default miscellaneous charges that are automatically calculated based on the following combinations, where level one overrides level two, and so on:
|
Level |
Miscellaneous Charge Hierarchy Criteria |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Item, supplier, business unit, and ship to location. (INV_ITEM_ID, Supplier_ID, BUSINESS_UNIT, and SHIPTO_ID) |
|
2 |
Item, supplier, and business unit. (INV_ITEM_ID, Supplier_ID, and BUSINESS_UNIT; and no SHIPTO_ID) |
|
3 |
Item and Supplier. (INV_ITEM_ID and Supplier_ID; and no BUSINESS_UNIT nor SHIPTO_ID) |
|
4 |
Item. (INV_ITEM_ID; and no Supplier_ID, BUSINESS_UNIT, nor SHIPTO_ID) |
|
5 |
Category, supplier, business unit, and ship to location. (CATEGORY_ID, Supplier_ID, BUSINESS_UNIT, and SHIPTO_ID; and no INV_ITEM_ID) |
|
6 |
Category, supplier, and business unit. (CATEGORY_ID, Supplier_ID, and BUSINESS_UNIT; and no INV_ITEM_ID nor SHIPTO_ID) |
|
7 |
Category and supplier. (CATEGORY_ID and Supplier_ID; and no INV_ITEM_ID, SHIPTO_ID, nor BUSINESS_UNIT) |
|
8 |
Category. (CATEGORY_ID; and no INV_ITEM_ID, Supplier_ID, BUSINESS_UNIT, nor SHIPTO_ID) |
For example, you can set up miscellaneous charges that are automatically calculated on the purchase order when a certain item is ordered from a particular supplier, for a particular business unit, and a specific ship to location of the business unit. You can also set up a miscellaneous charge that is automatically calculated for a particular item.
Only one Miscellaneous Charges - Miscellaneous page combination is used. The higher level overrides the lower level. For example, suppose that you defined miscellaneous charges for an item (level 4), and also for the category (level 8) to which the item belongs, only the miscellaneous charges that you defined for the item are used. The miscellaneous charges that you defined for the category are only used for items that do not have miscellaneous charges specifically defined.
