Extra Fees
Most vendors offer a range or options when ordering styles. These options usually have a associated cost or fee. Oftentimes these options are documented on line sheets provided by the designer and cross all styles or just a sub-set of styles. The benefits to the shop of pre-entering fees are to reduce mistakes and save time during the selling of the style during checkout.
Vendor Fees (absent of a store style) will be available for selection across all styles for the vendor/category the fees are created for. Vendor fees are Vendor & Category specific. They may optionally be style specific.
Fees may also be entered on the Inventory Style form or the Vendor From via the Extra Fee menu link that appears on both forms. The links will display the Extra Fee edit form.
Style Fees entered within the inventory form (those fees containing a Style) are specific to that inventory item.
Show without style (checkbox) ... check and click SEARCH to filter fee grid to all fees not containing any store style. These fees will be available during a SALE to all inventory styles of the vendor.
The Vendor Fee field columns of the extra fee grid:
Description ... A description of the fee. This will appear on sales Receipt/Ledgers and Purchase Orders when selected during the sale.
Cost ... The wholesale cost of the fee. What the vendor charges the store. This entry may be by an exact amount or a percentage. Example: 25 or 10%. If percentage is entered as the Fee cost, then the calculation is Inventory Style Cost X 10% and this result will be added to the ticket.
Price ... The retail price of the fee. What the store charges the customer. Prices are in whole numbers. This entry may be by an exact amount or a percentage. Example: 50 or 10%. If percentage is entered as the Fee price, then the calculation is the Item's ticket Selling Price X 10% and this result will be added to the ticket for the customer to pay.
Size ... Optional field data. Used in conjunction with the Autosize setting. Sizes can be entered as 18,20,22,24 or 18-24 (system will automatically expand to each size). When size values are entered on the Fee and the AutoSize setting is SizeMatch, then when a matching size is selected during a customer purchase, the system will auto default to the first matched AutoSize fee and he style's cost and price is increased during the sell.
AutoSize ... Optional field data. Options are No or SizeMatch. Used in conjunction with the SIZE values. If set to NO nothing automatically happens during a sale. The User may select the Extra Fee as other fees. If set to SizeMatch and Size has values, then during the sale if a size value matches the size being sold to customer and AutoMatch is enabled, then the Fee is automatically entered on the Extra Fee list of the sale and the customer is charged the selling price and the item's cost of sales goes up by the fee's cost. Taxable checkbox ... Should the selected sales tax rate be applied to this fee at sale time.
Store Style ... Optional. When completed the fee is only available when selling that style code.
Vendor Name ... Automatically completed using the selected Vendor
Category ... Required. Fees would only apply to the entered merchandise category of the selected Vendor.
