Freight

[JohnG603]

Is there an easy way to add a freight charge to a repair order---similar to 'shop supplies'--that will calculate a per centage automaticlly base on the parts price.

We use the sublet/misc option on ADP. Then we have a labor type that goes to our 35501 freight account. Take a little more time but works effectivly and does not show up on our Mopar dealer rewards.

You can use USS on the service side to set something like this up, but I think it just lumps with shop supplies - a better way to do it is below.

Create a part # FR in it's own source costed at $0.01 (that's 1 cent) and list of whatever your most common freight charge is - ours is $20. Then set up source accounting to credit this to your freight account, be it 35501, 7005, or whatever you use. Make sure to set up source accounting on both parts and service sides. don't worry about the penny, it never show's up anywhere except your source reports on inventory - even at 100 OH, that's only a dollar. Same thing goes for enviro, tire,filter,oil etc levies (with their own part #'s and sources). Works great.
