Prices for Additional Charges
Some service organizations have other items they include with a contract that either add to the price or create a discount. Define these charges in Contract Additional Charges (11.5.7). When you define a charge, you must specify an amount type of P for percentage or F for fixed amount.
Set up prices for additional charge items on a contract price list. Specify the additional charge item name in the Item field; leave the unit of measure blank. The additional charge amount type field determines the amount type of price list:
• If the additional charge is a fixed amount, the price list amount type must be P for price. The price is a fixed amount to be added to or subtracted from the price of the contract for each period.
• If the additional charge is a percentage, the amount type can be either D or M. M is the default. The system interprets this kind of price as a percentage to be applied to the entire contract. The percent is negative for a discount price and positive for a markup.
See Contract Additional Charges for details.
Example: Sample Additional Charges illustrates four kinds of additional charges.

In each example, the price in Service Price List Maintenance is 2. However, the system applies 2 differently based on other factors:
• When you create a contract and specify FedEx Delivery as an additional charge, the system adds 2% to the contract total.
• When a user agrees to accept refurbished replacement items, the system takes a 2% discount from the contract total.
• When you create a contract and specify Additional Caller, the system adds $2 for each period billed on the contract.
• When a user agrees to have only one person call, the system subtracts $2 for each period billed on the contract.
