Recording Additional Purchase Charges
A purchasing estimate should identify charges beyond the goods themselves, along with whether each amount is confirmed or only estimated.
Practical Considerations
Possible order-specific charges should be requested and recorded rather than assumed to apply. Examples may include transport, handling, packing or an agreed service charge. The actual quotation determines which are relevant.
Suggested Procedure
- List each applicable charge separately.
- Mark confirmed and estimated amounts.
- Record who is responsible for confirming the final total.
Illustrative Example
If transport is still awaiting a quotation, leave it identified as unresolved. Entering zero would make the comparison appear complete when it is not.
Points to Check
Do not publish a standard fee schedule unless the company has approved one. Keep estimates tied to the particular order being discussed.
