UK organisations that supply or import packaging need to comply with extended producer responsibility for packaging. This involves reporting on packaging and paying fees on those values. More information here: [HMRC Extended producer responsibility for packaging](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/extended-producer-responsibility-for-packaging-who-is-affected-and-what-to-do) Bevica can be configured to accrue for EPR expected fees against sales documents. {% embed url="" %} Requires Distribution Costs Management extension to be installed ### Item Charges Create a new Item Charge record to post values to the G/L. Search for **Item Charges**. ### Default Additional Charges Set up default additional charges that reflect the expected cost values you want to post. On processing sales orders the software will calculate the correct amount. Two broad options are available: **Option 1:** Create expected EPR cost bands and assign them an amount. **Option 2:** Assign each item a specific expected cost amount. ### Option 1 Create Item Additional Charge Codes in weight bands, see examples below. Navigate to Distribution Costs Setup and on the ribbon: Related, **Item Additional Charge Codes**
Then assign an Item Charge Code and Amount to each. Navigate to Distribution Costs Setup and on the ribbon: **Default. Add. Charges,** Item Additional Charge Codes.
Assign each item their respective Item Additional Charge Code. Navigate to the Item Card, **Costs & Posting** fasttab, Item Additional Charge Code. ### Option 2 Create a default additional charge record specific to each item. Navigate to Distribution Costs Setup and on the ribbon: Default Add. charges, **Items**. ### Sales documents When sales documents are Released, **Additional Charges** will be applied to each item line. These post to the G/L and Value Entries on posting the sales order. ### Item details Independently of the accrual process Bevica can store packaging related information against the item directly. This can be used for filtering and reporting. ### Item Units of Measure The Item Units of Measure record has format related information. ### Item Additional Details The Item card's Item Additional Details page holds specific Allergen, Palletisation and Waste Packaging information. The page is available from the Item card ribbon; Item, Item Additional Details.
