Creating a Shop Supply Fee

You can set up a shop supply fee that is automatically added to all estimates, repair orders, and counter sales.

  • The charge is either a FLAT FEE or a PERCENTAGE of the parts and labor charges.

  • The fee can be removed from individual repair orders, estimates, and counter sales.

  2. Select the Tax/Markups tab.

  3. In the Shop Supply Charges Type drop-list, select Parts & Labor, Parts Only, or Labor Only.

    • Parts Only: Fee only applies when parts are billed to a job

    • Labor Only: Fee only applies when labor, sublet or miscellaneous charges are billed to a job.

    • Parts & Labor: Fee applies when parts, labor sublet or miscellaneous charges are billed to a job.

  4. Type the fee Amount.

    • Note: The Shop Supply fee is applied to each job on an order matching the parts and labor criteria selected above.

    • The Maximum Charge field is unavailable when the dollar sign ($) is selected.
