Checkmate Tip: How to Add an Automatic Fee to Invoices
To have an automatic charge (for something like an EPA fee) that appears on Checkmate® invoices, you need to be set to break down sales by department. Here are the steps to activate the use of departments if you are not currently using them.
- Go to 6,10,4 and change the answer to the question, "Would you like sales broken down by department?" to YES
- Define your departments in 6,12. (Do you want to know more about departments and other Checkmate features? Click here for information about Car-Part's training meeting on July 30th-August 1st.)
Once departments are activated you will have new options in 6,10,1.
Answer the following prompts:
- "Would you like to include an automatic charge on each invoice? < $ >" - Change to Yes by entering Y.
- "Charge description text:" - Enter the description of your fee.
- "Automatic charge amount: < $ >" - Enter the amount of the fee.
- "Taxable? <> Y" - Enter Y or N to indicate if the fee is to be taxed.
- "Department # or (L)ist : <>" - Select L to toggle through a list of departments. Specify which departments should have the fee applied.
Now when you create an invoice, Checkmate will add the fee when you finalize the invoice.
