Value Added Table

The Value Added table allows you to set up and maintain the criteria for applying value added service charges to orders. Charges are based on vendor and material type and are for either a fixed amount or a percentage of the estimated price. The charges are then applied appropriately as you create and edit order records.

You can access the Value Added table via the following menu path:

Admin | Parameters | Acquisitions | Value Added

Using Value Added Feature to Apply Discounts

You can use the Value Added feature to apply discounts to items based on item format and vendor. To set up discount criteria using this feature, enter a negative amount into the VALUE field (e.g., -1.25 to discount an item by $1.25 or -5 to discount an item by 5%).To apply a discount to all items ordered from a vendor, see Discounting the Estimated Price. Note that both types of discounts are applied to the same order if that order matches the criteria set up for each discount.
