Fixed Charges

A fixed charge is a contract charge or a payable analyte charge configured in a set of contract terms.

Fixed charges are either a fixed or calculated value that impacts the invoice value, unit price or payable analyte grade. For fixed charges that impact the unit price, the resulting charge value is based on a mass, such as the wet mass or unloaded dry mass. The configuration of the resulting charge value includes settings for rounding of decimal places, minimum and maximum values, how the fixed charge is applied, and how the fixed charge affects invoices. For example, for a contract with product pricing, the fixed charge may display on the invoice without affecting the total invoice value, or may be included as a separate line item, or included in the calculation of the revenue line item.
