How to Create an Ad Hoc Charge

Video Tutorial

An ad hoc charge is a one-time fee you can add to a customer’s bill—for example, for special handling or extra services. You have a few options for creating these charges:

From the Billing Section:

  • In the left-hand menu, go to Billing.
  • Click Ad Hoc Charges.
  • Select Create Charge.
  • Choose the customer you want to charge.
  • Enter:
    • Name of the charge.
    • Amount.
    • Description.
    • Date (the date determines which billing period the charge will be included in).

On an Order:

  • Find and select the order you want to add the charge to.
  • Click More Actions.
  • Choose Ad Hoc.
  • Fill in the charge details (name, amount, etc.).
  • This links the charge directly to that order for accurate billing.

On an Inbound Shipment:

  • Go to Inbound Shipments.
  • Select the inbound shipment you want.
  • Navigate to the Receiving page.
  • Create an ad hoc charge by entering the details.
  • This associates the charge with the inbound shipment.

On a Shipment:

  • Go to Shipments.
  • Select the shipment you want.
  • Create an ad hoc charge by entering the necessary details.
  • This ensures the charge is connected to that shipment.

Billing:

  • When you run billing for a given period, all ad hoc charges created within that timeframe are automatically picked up and included on the customer’s invoice.
