Since the beginning of our use of Epicor, we have been struggling about shipping charges. And how to effectively charge them back to our customer.
We are heavily using multiple releases for the same line and each release having same shipping date, but different shipping address/shipper and thus a different shipping charge per delivery.
So we cannot use the Misc charges under the line as the price could be different depending of the release ship date and shipper.
Ideally, it would be great to have this functionality of adding the Misc charge under the release as well not just the line…
Is this available under version 10.2 ?
If not, What would be the best way to proceed ?
I already have a UD table which contains every shipment uniquely identified by Ordernum, plant, ShipVia Ship date and an unique ID. Those rows are updatable, so I can have the user enter a shipment cost for that row.
My next step I tought would be to add that cost to the order in order for the billing process to have it on the bill sent to the customer. I am not sure how and/where to add such info…
Misc. Charge per release is not in 10.2
Easiest way would be to add Misc charge to the pack, Since you have the charges in hand. This is the way Epicor Manifest handles it. A Misc charge on the pack will automatically carry to invoice.
We do use fedex or ups for maybe 3% of all our shipments. Most shipments use 53 foot trucks filled in full, used by our shippers… But our accounting dept is looking for a third party tool (does not seem to be Manifest though…) butnot yet confirmed…
Dave, you mention Misc charge to the pack…can you elaborate? where / how it can be setup so I want to test?
