~~CONTEXTID:793~~

~~OLDHREF:feeamountkind.html~~

Open the **POS** and then click **More** then **Fee Types** and add a **Fee Type**.

There is a new **Fee Amount Kind**.

**Amount Kind**: This specifies the kind of fee you want to use along with the **amount** you want to charge.

  - **Variable Amount**: When used in the **POS**, you will be prompted how much you would like to charge the customer. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:fee_type_7.jpg|**Fee Type** 7.jpg}}
  - **Flat Rate Amount**: When used in the **POS**, you will not be prompted to type in a fee. \\ The fee entered in the **amount** box is what will automatically be charged to the customer. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:fee_type_8.jpg|**Fee Type** 8.jpg}}
  - **Multi-Quantity Flat**: When used in the **POS**, you will be prompted for a quantity that will then be multiplied by the currency number typed into the **Amount** box.  This number can be a longer decimal. \\ This is very useful if you have for example, a roll of fabric and you want to charge based on inches or yards cut from the fabric. \\ **Example**: A customer comes up to the register with 2.5 yards of christmas ribbon.  You charge $3.00 a yard.  When you select this created fee in the **POS**, you would type 2.5 as your quantity.  The customer would then be charged  $7.50. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:fee_type_9.jpg|**Fee Type** 9.jpg}}
  - **Active (Check Box**) : Use the Active Check Box if you want the fee to be usable in the Point Of Sale. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:fee_type_1011.jpg|**Fee Type** 1011.jpg}}
  - Select the **Save** button when done. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem3593.jpg|NewItem3593.jpg}}

You should see your newly created **Fee Type** in the Maintain Fees dialog box.

====== Using Fee Amount Kind In The POS ======

Note: Adding a fee to a sale is the same as adding a fee by itself to be sold. The steps are the same. The only difference is if an item is currently part of the sale. Adding the fee will have no affect on how the sale is processed.

  - From the **POS** Hub select the New Sale button. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4098.png|NewItem4098.png}} \\ Login if Prompted. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4097.png|NewItem4097.png}}
  - Within the **POS** select the Fee button. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4096.png|NewItem4096.png}} \\ An additional menu will open with all the Fees listed. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4095.png|NewItem4095.png}}
  - Select the Fee button you want to use to ring up in the **POS**. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4094.png|NewItem4094.png}}
  - Depending on the fee **Amount Kind**  you are using, one of several things may happen.
    * You are using **Variable Amount**: Enter the value for the fee and then select the OK button at the bottom. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4092.png|NewItem4092.png}} \\ The fee will be displayed in the **POS**. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4091.png|NewItem4091.png}}
    * You are using Flat **Amount**: You set a static fee so you will not be prompted to input how much you want to charge. \\ Instead, the pre-set fee will simply be charged. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:newitem4091.png|NewItem4091.png}}
    * You are using Multi-quantity flat **Amount**: You will be prompted to specify a quantity of which will be multiplied by the pre-set **amount** you set for this fee type. \\ Click the OK button after typing in your quantity. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:quantity_fee.jpg|quantity Fee.jpg}} \\ In the following example, we are purchasing 5.5 yards of yarn.  Our **amount** per yard of yarn is $5.375 \\ We ended up charging $29.56 because 5.5 x 5.375 = 29.56 rounded. \\ {{libertyreact:lib:quantity_2.jpg|quantity 2.jpg}}
