Show fuel surcharges on invoices

We recommend that you read Fuel extra (surcharge) before making a change to the fuel extra or starting to use fuel extra, so that you don’t miss anything important.

Fuel surcharges can be included in the total price of the order lines, but it is not clear how much of the amount on each order line is DMT. If you want to make it clearer how much of the invoice amount is DMT, you can add it to the total at the bottom of the invoice. DMT is always included in the total price of the invoice.

Warning!

Many e-invoice exports, including all those following the Peppol standard, will not work unless DMT is included in the total price of the order lines. This is because such exports check that the sum of all order lines matches the total on the invoice.

Even if you add a line for DMT to the summary at the bottom of the invoice, it won't count as a proper order line, and it won't make e-invoice exports work.

Include/exclude DMT in the total price of the order line

Go to Settings > Offices > tab Invoice settings and tick/untick Invoice prices include fuel extra. The checkbox works in conjunction with Invoice prices include delivery option prices, so if there is an option with DMT on the order line, the fuel surcharge is also included/excluded for the option.

The same behaviour also applies to Invoice prices include currency extra prices. For an example of the result of different combinations of the checkboxes on the total price of the order line on the invoice, see Office (window).

Display DMT rates on separate lines in the invoice summary

If you want to make it clearer to the customer how much of the invoice amount is DMT, you can add lines for the different DMT rates in the summary at the bottom of the invoice. Depending on whether you include or exclude the fuel surcharge in the total price on the order lines, you can customise the text and appearance to make it easy to follow how the total amount on the invoice has been calculated.

Display DMT as a lump sum in the invoice summary

The sum of DMT, currency surcharges and optional extras can also be recognised as a lump sum in the aggregation. To do so, we use the following two tags in the report:

Tip

Of course, you can also show combinations of the four examples above on the invoice. Experiment with tags in the invoice report and combinations of the checkboxes in the office settings. Click on Refresh in the preview to update the invoice if you change any of the office settings.
