Storage-fees and the setup

What are storage-fees used for?

The storage fee is used to settle packaging goods, materials and other items that are held for a customer in your warehouse.

How are storage-fees set up correctly?

The desired period for which the storage-fee is to be calculated, is defined in the packaging setup. The setup also includes the storage-fee account (G/L account). Normally, a specific, dedicated G/L account is used for this purpose. However, it is also possible to split this setup, e.g. for different customer accounts (within or outside Europe).

Note

This function must be activated in advance, before it can be selected.

After these two setups have been carried out, the storage-fee number series and the price list number series are then selected.

What does the setup look like on the customer side?

To carry out an individual setup for a specific customer, the customer card has to be accessed. Storage-fee free time invoice periods can then be entered and changed on a customer card. This allows you to calculate a specific period that differs from the general invoice period.

Note

Various types of groups can be defined within the customer card; e.g. the customer storage-fee group code. By using this setup, several customers within the group thus defined can be entered for a specific price list. The use case was created for customer groups that are to be invoiced with the same price, but are located in different regions. This setup allows to have these customers combined.
