More and more governments and agencies across North America are requiring importer's, distributors, manufacturer's to collect environmental fees related to the recycling and disposal of everyday household and commercial items. Currently the only way we have found to deal with these problems is to manually enter the fee using MISC CHARGE at the time of invoicing to the customer at the order entry or invoicing work flow. Many of the 1000's of items we carry different levels of fees applied and it would be beneficial if these fees could be tied to individual items and calculated as the items are sold/invoiced. Most of the reporting is required monthly or quarterly so enhancements in these reporting features through standard reports or Business Intelligence would also be a great feature.

Good point. It would be nice to indicate that an item has one or more items/misc charges to accompany the item when it is added to an order. Figuring out the amounts might be tricky, however.
