Parameters > Timber Surcharges

Surcharges are applied to a product as an additional charge.
Surcharges defined in this document will appear in the Timber Tally window.

In the Surcharge field, key in an appropriate abbreviation, followed by a description, value, and unit. In the above example the value is applied per cubic metre, e.g. in the case of APP, 1 cubic metre of product sold to a customer may attract a surcharge of $250.

In this example, the surcharge APP is applied to 200 x 3.0m lengths of a timber product (HWD025025).
The surcharge calculation is APP $250 x 0.375 M3 = $93.75.
The timber calculation is HWD025025 $650 x 0.375 M3 = $243.75
$93.75 + $243.75 = the extension $337.50
