Add-Ons are additional charges that are used in purchasing, sales and internal charges. There are three types of Add-Ons:
Add-Ons can be configured to assume the accounts for the product and be included in the inventory cost or, alternatively, be expensed to a separate account and not be included in the inventory cost.
The following documents provide further details on creating add-ons:
The Add-On Products screen has two tabs that must be completed in the creation process.
The General tab contains the base data for the product.
In General>General>Products, select AddOns.
In the AddOns
index, click 
to create a new Add-On product.
In the Add On Type field, select whether the product is a Premium, Discount or Commission Add-On.
Enter the Product No to identify the product within the system (alphanumeric, max 50 characters).
Enter the Product Name as a description for the product (alphanumeric, max 250 characters). This field will appear on documents that contain Add-Ons such as purchase orders and invoices.
Product Type is a required field that determines the type of Add-On. Options available are: Pricing Method, Service or Vaccination. This field can be used for filtering data in reports or forms and does not have any additional logic added based on the Product Type.
Pay Calculation Type determines the base amount of the AddOn calculation.
Product Amount - the AddOn is calculated based on only the product amount and does not include any other AddOn in the calculation of the amount.
Net Amount - the AddOns is calculated based on the net amount of the transaction based on the product amount including other AddOn amounts, but excluding taxes.
Vendor Calculation Type determines if the payment is calculated based on the base AddOn logic using Transaction basis or if the Add-On amount is only deducted from the vendor payment.
Normal - the AddOn is calculated based on the rules established by Transaction Basis and the Payment Type defined in the vendor SKU and sales SKU.
Deduction Only - the AddOn is calculated based on the rules established by Transaction Basis, however the AddOn is only deducted from the vendor payment.

Transaction Basis is a read-only field that defaults from the selected Add-On and determines how the Add-On is calculated. Options are: Per Unit, Percentage, Flat Rate or Free Percentage. Free Percentage is currently only applies to poultry and used to receive an additional percentage of free birds based on the original amount ordered.
The system will default the Add-On as Active. If the product is no longer purchased from the vendor, de-select the option.
Select System if the product is a system product. System products cannot be modified or deleted.
The Notes field is used to enter additional comments related to the product.
Add-Ons can be configured to assume the accounts from the product that it is assigned to and be included in the inventory cost of the product or, alternatively, coded to a separate account and not included in the inventory cost of the product. By default, the accounts are blank.
Based on the example below, the Add-On will assume all of the accounts for the product that is being purchased or transferred. The cost of the Add-On will be included in the cost of the product.
If required, account segments can be added. Any new accounts must be added to the Chart of Accounts before transactions can be processed. The Add-On as defined below will be coded to the defined accounts and not be included in the inventory cost of the product.
