Generating Storage Fee Sales Invoices

This function creates a Sales Order for each customer whose inventory you are managing. The Sales Order consists of a single Line Item: a calculated fee for storing products for the month. This function can be found in the Inventory Main Menu.

The amount charged the customer for each product is determined by the STORAGE FEE $/% you entered for the product. You set up a formula for calculating the amount to charge for each product in FILES|Setup Sales Order Options.

You are warned if you attempt to generate a storage fee more than once in the last 30 days. You may override this warning.
