This indicates the code for the charge being maintained.

The calculation types available depend on whether the service charge is a miscellaneous charge type or it is attached to a stock code.

Option	Description
Comment	Select this to assign a comment line to the charge code. When processing an order for this stocked item the line is inserted as a comment entry against the order.
Fixed percent	Select this to assign a fixed percentage amount to the charge code. This enables you to base the charge on a fixed percentage of the stock item's line value entered during sales order entry. The charge is applied after any line discounts or tax has been calculated.
Fixed value	Select this to assign a fixed charge amount to the miscellaneous charge code. During sales order entry, the fixed charge value is displayed as the default entry that will be inserted against the order. You can override this amount.
Mass	Select this to assign a mass to the charge code. During sales order entry the order quantity of the stock item (converted to the stocking quantity) is multiplied by the mass and then by the unit price to determine the value of the charge line.
Minimum quantity	Select this to assign a charge to order lines, for this stock item, where the quantity ordered is less than or equal to the quantity entered in the Minimum quantity field below. You enter this charge in the Unit price field below. During sales order entry the order quantity of the stock item is multiplied by the value in the Unit price field to determine the total value of the charge line. You would typically select this if you apply a surcharge (e.g. a handling fee), for small order quantities.
Order quantity	Select this to assign an order quantity to the charge code. During sales order entry the order quantity of the stock item is multiplied by the unit price to determine the value of the charge line. If you want these service charges to be re-calculated when quantities on Dispatch notes are changed (using the Dispatch Note Review program) then you must set the Miscellaneous charge processing option to Include miscellaneous on all dispatch notes (Dispatch Notes Setup).
Quantity to ship	Select this to assign a quantity to ship to the charge code. During sales order entry the shipping quantity of the stock item is multiplied by the unit price to determine the value of the charge line.
Returnable item	Select this to assign a charge for a returnable item. A returnable item is usually sold together with a stock item, but is returnable (e.g. a re-usable container, crate or pallet). A deposit may have been paid on the returnable item and it may be returned for credit. A returnable item charge can be defined as a miscellaneous service charge or as a service charge attached to a stock code. If the returnable item service charge is attached to a stock item, then during order entry, the ship quantity of the stock item is multiplied by the value in the Unit price field to determine the total value of the charge line. You would typically define a returnable item service charge attached to a stock item if the stock item and the returnable item cannot be sold separately. For example, you could not sell a bottle of cold drink without the bottle. If the sales order line or the dispatch note line for the stock item is cancelled, then the service charge line for the returnable item is automatically cancelled. If the returnable item charge is defined as a miscellaneous charge, then during order entry, the quantity you enter (adjusted by the quantity factor defined against the charge) is multiplied by the Unit price to determine the total value of the charge line. You would typically define a returnable item charge as a miscellaneous charge if the stock item and the returnable item can be sold separately. For example, you could sell a crate of cold drink bottles, but you could also sell the bottles loosely (without the crate). This option is only enabled if you defined a Returnable item warehouse (Sales Orders Setup). When you define a returnable item service charge, you must enter a quantify factor.
Stocking qty to order	Select this to assign a stocking quantity to order to the charge code. During sales order entry the order quantity (converted to the stocking quantity) of the stock item is multiplied by the unit price to determine the value of the charge line.
Labor	Select this to assign a labor charge amount to the miscellaneous charge code. Labor service charges can only be processed using the Part Billings program. The Part Billings program creates the miscellaneous sales order charge line for the labor charge. Refer to Labor Service Charges in Part Billings for additional information. This option is only available when you define a miscellaneous service charge.
Minimum order value	Select this to define a miscellaneous charge to apply to a sales order when the order value is less than the Minimum order value defined against the customer (Customers). This type of service charge is processed automatically by the SO Service Charges from Order Entry program and cannot be selected by the operator as a normal service charge. Only the following fields apply to a Minimum order value service charge: Description Product class Currency Taxable and Tax code if applicable Percentage Summarize charge line on invoice This option is not available when you access the Service Charges program from within the Sales Order Entry program (i.e. while processing a sales order). The reason is that the Minimum order value charge is based on the entire order's value. Adding a Minimum order value while adding sales order lines, will result in the incorrect calculation of this charge.
User defined	Select this to assign a user-defined charge amount to the miscellaneous charge code. During sales order entry, a specific quantity is requested that is multiplied/divided by the unit price to determine the miscellaneous charge that is to be applied. This option is not available for service charges attached to a stock code.
