Auto charges for sales order in Microsoft dynamics AX 2012 R3

Hello Readers,
Hope !! you are all well :-)

After a gap of almost three months, here I am ready to post the new topic of AX.

I hope you will find this post interesting.

In this topic, I will walk you through the setup of automatic charges in AX 2012 and its use.

Before you read the below post, if you would like to know about what is meant by charges and their importance in business. Please refer: Sales order Charges

Auto charges are used to define the automatic charges for the customers, vendors, items and for the mode of delivery as well.

These charges are applied automatically when you create sales order or purchase order.

There are few setups which needs to be done in the auto charges form in order to get these charges in the sales order or purchase order.

You can define the Automatic charges for :
                                                        1. Single customer, vendor , Item and mode of delivery
                                                        2, Group of customers, vendors , Items and mode of deliveries
                                                        3. All customers, vendors , Items and mode of deliveries

Note: Point to be noted here is that mode of delivery charges can only be define when defining the auto charges for the sale order.

14: Sales tax group: specify the sales tax group to calculate the tax for the charge amount. This is optional.

  2. hi Abhijeet

    is there a way to link item charge group to the delivery, for auto misc charges? In other words, we select criteria Item -> group and Delivery -> Table

    1. It won't be possible to select relation as Table/group for item and at the same time table/group for mode of delivery because system considers mode of delivery as a header level field which is applicable to entire sales order. so when you select delivery ->table, system automatically changes item as 'All'.

      In technical terms, there is a field fixed/Related field fixed relation on respective tables due to which system is restricting certain combinations.
