How to: Set Up Shortcut Extra Charges
You can choose up to five extra charges whose values you can enter directly on order lines. These are called shortcut extra charges.
To set up shortcut extra charges
- In the Search box, enter Purchases & Payables Setup, and then choose the related link.
- In the Purchases & Payables Setup window, on the Extra Charges FastTab, in the Shortcut Extra Charge Code 1 field, enter the code for an extra charge.
- Repeat the procedure for Shortcut Extra Charge Code 2-5 fields.
The extra charges you choose for shortcut extra charges should be the extra charges you most often enter. In addition, the entry in the Shortcut Extra Charge 1 field can be used to assign an extra charge to multiple purchase orders in the Truckload Receiving window, so it should be the extra charge you are most likely to assign to truckload receipts.
When you select an extra charge to be a shortcut extra charge, the program will automatically rename all fields that use the extra charge with the charge caption you have entered for the selected extra change in the Extra Charge table. However, you should note that the online Help will continue to use the generic names for the shortcut extra charges (for example, Shortcut Extra Charge Code 1) rather than the company-defined code name for that extra charge.
