Infor LN & Baan Tip: Navigating the Complexities of Surcharges on Phantom Items in Manufacturing

Is it ok to define surcharges on phantom items?

It is advised not to use surcharges on phantom items for the following reasons:

  1. The usage of phantom surcharges makes it, in general, more difficult to understand, verify, and explain the result of the cost price calculation.
  2. Real phantom items do not exist in real life. It is only an efficient way to specify the BOM. It is therefore questionable if surcharges should be defined for these non-existing phantom items.
  3. The usage of phantom surcharges can lead to variances in production orders, depending on the actual usage of the phantom.
  4. When surcharges based on added costs are defined for both the main item and the phantom item, then the surcharge will be applied twice.

Alternatives are:

  • Define the required surcharges on the main item of the phantom.
  • Define the required surcharges on the sub-item of the phantom.
  • Define a (backflush) operation on the phantom to cover the handling costs (if any) of a phantom item.

A Cancel-by-Date has been added to the Quote Header and RMA Header panels. This optional field can limit how long a quote or authorization to return items for credit is valid.  

For quotes, this enhancement provides an optional end date for the quote. For RMAs, it provides an optional date by which the customer must return the items to receive the credit listed on the RMA.

The Cancel-By-Date prints on the Order Acknowledgement and RMA Acknowledgement to inform the customer of this important limitation to the quote or return authorization. 

An Order Entry user cannot copy the quote to create a new order if the Cancel By Date has caused the quote to expire.

Sales commissions are based on combinations of the Primary, Split, and Line-Level salesperson and the commission codes defined for the customer and item. You can now define the Split Salesperson in the same master files as the Primary Salesperson. While the Primary Salesperson is mandatory, the Split Salesperson is optional. It defaults during Order Create using the identical hierarchy as Primary Salesperson. Using Split Salesperson provides more flexibility in the calculation of sales commissions. The ability to define a default Split Salesperson improves the accuracy of sales commission qualification and calculation and reduces maintenance and adjustments necessitated by corrections.
