Adding, Editing & Deleting Charges in Ginesys HO
Charge is an extra amount levied upon the basic or gross value of goods sold to a customer. It may be a cost incurred for that purchase (like delivery costs) or any reduction in cost value (i.e. discounts) or duties paid to any government or statutory body for making that purchase (i.e. different types of taxes) etc. A charge, also known as Transactional Cost, is of different types and covers a wide range of costs - communication charges, legal fees, durability, and definitely also include transportation costs.
The GINESYS Charge master form has been provided for creating and maintaining a record of the various charges needed to complete a Purchase Transaction. Existence of the master form allows the charges to be re-usable and allow the charges to be extinct when they are not needed any more.
The details of all Charges are stored in this master and flow from it to all relevant transaction modules.
This article describes how to manage Charges in Ginesys HO.
The Add button in the Charge Master grid view allows the inclusion of new charges as and when required. On clicking the button, the Add Charge window opens up to include all relevant details of a charge. The new record can then be saved and reflected in the master.
