Following is the basic process of creating an MPS non billing template which can be used to assign to contracts. This example will Create Similar (for freight charges) based on an existing auto created template.
In the bottom right of a contract list there is an Action Wizard button. This allows applying templates to a group of contracts.
Run a filtered contract List of only the contracts in question. This is often best performed via a contract Non-Report Group. It can also be performed by customer, customer group, etc. (Any filter that brings up the correct contracts in the list.)
For example, contracts that are within a 50km radius are to have a higher freight charge than normal, and will require the correct amount to be put on the consumable job when created.
1.Create a Non-Report Group named 50km.
2.Tag customer (or contracts) to the 50km Non-Report Group.
