How best to implement a standard fuel surcharge on all orders?

[Former Member]

Due to the rising cost of fuel, our company is considering applying a small standard fuel surcharge to all orders, irrespective of destination, route or order value.

What do you consider the most efficient way to be of applying this and what configuration is needed for your suggested solution?

Thank you for your answers. Points will be posted.

HI GL. Thanks for that. The preferred solution is not a % on the order value of the sale but a standard charge, e.g. $10 per order, irrespective of whether the order value is $20 or $20,000.

I had considered an extra line item on the order, created as a material with the standard price, but that does require the customer services people to remember to apply it to every order

What do you think?

No in that case, maintain "B" for the field "Calculation type" in V/06. Similarly, in V/07, have the table for sales organisation so that in VK11, you maintain $ 10.00 for your sales organisation.

By doing so, irrespective of customer or material, this fixed amount will flow to your sale order.

Tested that and it will work just fine. Thank you very much.

It would be a fixed percent (say 2.50%) on the sale value. So what you can do the following:-

a) Create a condition type in V/06 with both Condition Class and Calculation type as "A". Maintain some access sequence for this condition type.

b) In V/07, for this access sequence, maintain the required combination for which you want to maintain condition record

c) Assign this condition type to your pricing procedure V/08

d) Next maintain the required percent in VK11 for this condition type

e) Now create a sale order and see how it works.
