Anyone know if there is a way to mark certain parts that a tariff surcharge must be added when quoting/entering sales orders/etc? It isn’t across the board. Trying to figure out some way to mark the actual part so it flags the CS personnel. Thanks!!

Could you use one of the attribute fields? There are a few generic attributes like “Restricted”, “Compliant”, and “Safety Item”. If you don’t already use those fields, you could co-opt one. I think the better answer would be to use a custom bit field on the part table. Combine this with a directive to look for that flag and prompt the user.
Thanks, Nate. We’ve never used Attributes before. I’ll have to research that option. The other suggestion is a no-go for us. A) We don’t have an IT department and B) we don’t do any customizations. Ugh!

Hs commodity code on the part is the key.
Plays a big part in the whole landed shipping, but not if this is a scenario around sending goods for export sale.

I’d echo @Hally. Make sure you have HS Commodity codes. You could add a BPM based on that for the alert in your quote. For those classifications of goods that are tariffed.
Attributes or a UD field would be the other ways.

I would say a UD checkbox on the part table and a BPM on a data directive with the order dtl table after the part was add to inform them that is a need for a tariff surcharge.
