Once a product with product surcharges defined has been selected, depending on the type of surcharge defined, one of 2 things will happen.

> ℹ️ Surcharges are applied on top of any existing discounts. For example, volume discounts & contract prices etc are applied prior to surcharges.

### 1. Length Surcharges

Length Surcharges will be automatically applied to the tally lengths that have surcharges defined. If multiple lengths have been added to an order and they have different surcharges then each product, with matching surcharges, will be added as individual product lines on your order.

### 2. Other Surcharges

Once a product with product surcharges defined has been selected, the **Additional Information Required** screen is displayed:

1. In the **Select **column enabled the surcharge/s you are required to apply to the product.

<summary>Calculation example if multiple surcharges are selected:</summary>

**Calculating Sell Surcharges**

If there is a percentage surcharge (**Rate %** field) and a unit sell price surcharge (**Unit Sell** field) then both will be applied. The percentage surcharges are calculated first, followed by the sell price surcharges.

> **Example**
> 
> Sell Price before surcharge = $20
> 
> Percentage Surcharge 1 = 10%
> 
> Percentage Surcharge 2 = 10%
> 
> **Sub-total of Percentage Surcharges = 20% = $4**
> 
> Unit Sell Surcharge 1 = $10
> 
> Unit Sell Surcharge 2 = $5
> 
> **Sub-total of Sell Price Surcharges =** **$15**
> 
> **Grand total =** **$20 **(Sell Price before surcharge)** + $4 **(Sub-total of Percentage Surcharges)** + $15 **(Sub-total of Sell Price Surcharges)** = $39**

---

**Calculating Cost Surcharges**

Cost surcharges are accumulated then added to the Cost price.

> **Example**
> 
> Cost before surcharge = $10
> 
> Unit Cost Surcharge 1 = $2
> 
> Unit Cost Surcharge 2 = $3
> 
> **Sub-total of Cost Surcharges = $5**
> 
> **Grand total = $10** (Cost before surcharge) **+ $5 **(Sub-total of Cost Surcharges)** = $15**
