By default, there is no automatic extraction for this field. You can configure extraction to meet your needs.

This field captures a non-freight miscellaneous charge that is configured for a vendor at the header level.

For example, charges like a fuel surcharge, an administration charge, a customs charge, or a pallet charge are considered miscellaneous charges. The system is also able to extract miscellaneous charges at the line item level.

This field is not usually mandatory, but the system converts any extracted value to a valid amount using a period as a decimal separator. The system uses this value in the validation calculated against all amount fields. The calculation is described in the following formula:

Invoice Total = Line item total + total tax + freight + miscellaneous charge – discount – withholding tax – ISR Retention

If line items are mandatory, then the amount fields are validated with the following formula:

Invoice Total = SubTotal + total tax + freight + miscellaneous charge – discount – withholding tax

Where Total Tax is the total amount of all taxes on the document. This can include Tax Amount and any other country-specific tax fields.

The tolerance for these calculations is configured in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Global Settings > Tolerance Settings. The system applies the tolerance based on the tolerance group linked to the currency of the invoice.

If line pairing is configured to occur during document export, the system gathers all miscellaneous charges, both in this field and at the line item level, and processes them in accordance with the settings for charges as specified in the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Misc Charge Settings > Misc Charge Categories tab. Standard settings for processing include booking the miscellaneous charge as a planned or unplanned cost or creating a special general ledger entry against the invoice.

If the organization requires each type of miscellaneous charge to be handled in a different manner, then it needs to be determined which specific charge the miscellaneous charge header field represents. The corresponding mapping between this field and charge type needs to be made in the system configuration settings.

The Validation Activity user can enter any other miscellaneous chargers that appear as line items in the table.
