  • Configure the conditions of a purchase request that, met, add a handling fee to that purchase request. Any field on the Purchase Request table can be used as part of the conditions to determine if a handling fee is to be applied for a purchase.

    If multiple handling fees are generated based on the configurable conditions, the handling fee with the lowest rank is applied. A Procurement Administrator can use the Pricing table to apply handling fee pricing. In the Pricing table, handling fees can be set as a fixed price or as a percentage-based price. When percentage-based pricing is used, the handling fee is calculated as a percentage of the total amount of all lines on the purchase request.

    If there is a handling fee rule associated with a purchase requisition, a new purchase line is created with product type as handling fee. The handling fee purchase line is view-only and visible from the My purchases tab.

    Note:
    Handling fees support fixed amounts and percentage-based pricing only. Tiered or break-based pricing is not available for handling fees.
