Overseas and account sale costs - as charged by the customer - can be posted directly from the produce trade by defining the costs in the Pallet Charge Assignment section of the produce trade.
Before posting a produce trade, the sum of the posting amount of the pallet charge assignments associated with the produce trade is added to the sum of the posting amount of the pallet lines and if the nett is positive, an invoice will be posted, else a credit memo.
It is possible to post pallet charges on produce trades without also posting trade amounts for the produce pallets.
