Q. What is a blend fee, and how do I set it up?
A. A blend fee is a product set up to represent a charge for blending, delivery, or equipment for fertilizer, feed, etc. It is usually set up in a Fee Inventory Department in the Hub.
Blend fees may be setup as Hidden or Unhidden. Unhidden blend fees are set up on the Blending / Setup / Location Preferences / Miscellaneous tab. Hidden blend fees are set up at Hub / Setup / Location Preferences.
Items set up as Hidden Blend Fees do not show up individually on the Invoice, Consolidated Blend, or Custom App when priced by Blended or Guaranteed Analysis but are added to the total cost of the blend.
Unhidden Blend Fee items show up as individual products on the Invoice, Consolidated Blend, and Custom App when priced by Blended or Guaranteed Analysis and are added to the total cost of the blend.
Both Hidden and Unhidden Blend Fee items are prorated during the Edit to Actual function.
Note: When setting up Blend Fee products in the Hub, the Unit Weight must be entered as ‘0’.
