Misc Order Line Charge “every” Logic

… Shouldn’t each flatbed have its own pack?

Ideas link I posted back on Sep 8th on this after getting the works as designed/ has always been this way canned response from dev.

They should change the description/id to “Every Line”, that would clear it up.

No cause it’s per line if I ship line 1 I don’t want the whole header charge

I’d argue if you are shipping 4 flatbeds that’s 4 packing slips and one master pack if you wanna get real fancy

Driver of the truck gets a packing slip at least a that’s the way I’ve always seen it done every truck driver has a packing slip with the contents of its truck

So unless you are printing 4 copies of the same packing slip or some other mess how do you differentiate what’s in truck 1 vs truck 4 without separate slip

Either way that’s neither here nor there I suppose there’s a world where this is useful but I’d argue the description of what it does and the fact that I can alter the price of my invoice by shipping from a different bin or lot is a pretty big flaw

if you are talking about idea:Update SalesRepList from multivalued fields to separate tables then i want to let you know that we TRIED to fit it into 2024.1, but the size of it was too big, and it fell out of the list. I have put it into the pile of items to be considered for 2024.2.

The other thing epicor can do so it doesn’t break current logic is to add a fourth option. Every Pack line is the current option, and every order line/pack slip would be a fourth option.

Tim I saw the idea, I just am saying while people are giving their opinions on enhancements I figured I would too and say that the enhancement I am most looking forward to would be the salesreplist ~~~~

Benjamin, this idea KIN-I-4015 seems to be reporting something on the PERCENTAGE charge… I checked in on it and found that there was a duplicate bug that was closed/canceled but the bug reported on ERPS-73025 is still in play.
This is a different issue than what Jose is reporting… but related, and i think it :safe_harbor: points out that we may have a challenge in how Misc Charges are handled.

I do see that doing a search on “Misc Charge” Brings back a pretty large number of ideas. I would argue that means that this area of the program could use a little re-evaluation because “Working as designed” seemed to be not good enough for a fair amount of companies.

Idea made. Go forth and vote.

@josecgomez - the only reason percent works on every is simple math… If you ship 1 of 10, that’s 10% of the total net price, so a 5% misc charge on 10% of the total net price comes out properly - probably a “happy feature” that worked in our favor.

Qty 10 - $50 net price each, 5% handling charge. Overall expect $25 in misc handling.
Ship 1 = (501) * 1.05 = 52.50
Ship 9 = (50
9) * 1.05 = 472.50

Ship 10 - $50 net price each, $25 handling added as an amount, each - you over charge by $25
Ship 1 = (501) + 25 = 75.00
Ship 9 = (50
9) + 25 = 475.00

If you change frequency to first or last when using amount that will calculate properly. That really gets confusing to the customer trying to reconcile (In our case they were calculating out additional credits based on net price, Epicor does percent on gross. If we just shipped 1 on a large quantity of items using amount, first - the invoice would be a negative… so paying our customers to take our product :grimacing:)
