Aptean Surcharges for Food and Beverage

In food and beverage distribution, costs for freight, special handling and more are often passed on to customers or absorbed from vendors. Managing these surcharges and allowances manually can be inconsistent and error-prone. Businesses need a reliable way to ensure that these additional charges are applied consistently based on customers, vendors, shipment methods or carriers—without relying on spreadsheets and manual review.

Streamline surcharge handling with Aptean Surcharges for Food & Beverage

The Aptean Surcharges for Food & Beverage extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central provides automated handling of sales and purchase surcharges at the document level. Configurable surcharge and allowance rules ensure that additional costs and/or deductions are applied automatically to sales and purchase documents, either upon release or by user action. The extension guarantees that surcharges—whether based on flat amounts or weight-based calculations—are consistently calculated, posted and visible in your order process. This reduces manual errors, improves cost recovery and streamlines billing with customers and vendors.

Key Features
