| # Defining Assembly Line Surcharges Surcharges are extra costs in an item's standard cost price 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. If you use order based transaction processing, surcharges are defined for a combination of an assembly line and an item. If you use line station based transaction processing, surcharges are defined for an assembly line. You cannot define a fixed surcharge amount in case of assembly line based transaction processing. The surcharges are posted to the assembly line when the line is closed. In case of order based transaction processing, the surcharges are posted to the assembly line by order. |
