Metals surcharges -- best way to handle

Legacy Contributor

We're working on revising how we can handle metals surcharges for raw materials for our vendors. For example, we buy parts from a foundry. They charge us $1,000 for the parts and a surcharge for the metal based on the pounds. So, that cost could be another $150, let's say.

We are of two minds. One camp wants to tie the surcharge to the part, I say it should appear as a cost to the work order, but post to a cost of goods sold account.

Anyone run across this same issue?

Thanks!

I would like to combine the two costs and put the total in one PO line. Also add line specification to tell the cost spit. Literally, both cost are for that part.

If you want to keep the cost separate, 2 options:
1) turn on the option in Financial Global maintenance window, which is called 'Allow multiple invoice per line'. that will attach the subcharge to part cost.
2) set two part numbers, one for raw material, the other for with subcharge. link them with an engineer master that has subcharge as an outside service.

check the help document to know how 'Allow multiple invoice per line' works.
