====== Setting Up Item Fees ======

An **Item Fee** is an amount added to the price of an item that appears only on the price tag, and not on consignor's items files. The store keeps 100% of the **Item Fee** and the consignor receives 0%. Item Fees are attached to **Price Codes**: thus every Price Code can have its own **Item Fee**.

Example: Price Code A could have no **Item Fee**, and Price Code B could have an **Item Fee** of $1.00 for items priced from $10.00 - $25.00, and $2 .00 for items priced over $25.00.

Different **Price Codes** may use different Item Fees.

To assign an item fee to a price code you must create **Item Fee Types** first.

    * **Flat Fee** : This will charge a set fee no matter what the price of the item is.

  - Click the **Add** button.

===== Item Fee Calculations for Items Sold at a Discount =====

When items are posted in Point of Sale, the **Item Fee** is included in the sale amounts displayed on screen. Since the user is referring to the POS Display to know how much the customer owes the information must match that found on the price tags.

Note: When an item with an **Item Fee** is sold using **Change Post** the item fee IS NOT reduced.

Example: A $10.00 item has a $1.00 item fee. Total price for the item is $11.00. The split is 50/50.

When using **Change Post** the price of an item is changed to $7.00 (selecting No in answer to the question Calculate Consignor Net on Original Price?). The consignor receives $7.00 - $1.00 item fee = $6.00 x 50% (split) = $3.00. The amount of the item fee kept by the store stays at $1.00.

Note: When an item with an **Item Fee** is sold using **Sale Post**, the item fee IS reduced by the sale percentage.

Example: A $10.00 item has a $1.00 item fee. Total price for the item is $11.00. The split is 50/50.

Using **Sale Post** the price of an item is reduced 10% to $9.90. The consignor receives $9.90 - ($1.00 x 90%) = $9.00 x 50% (split) = $4.50. The amount of the item fee kept by the store is .90 (10% off of $1.00).
