  • 1.  Tariff Meeting ?

    Posted 06-05-2025 16:11

    Todd Martin sent me a copy of what he is working on for tariff surcharging. Do we want to set up some type of meeting to discuss this as a group? If the answer is yes I think a few steps might be in order: 

    1. General post on HL asking who has created something and if they're willing to share
    2. Get those people into a meeting to discuss how we might involve the community

    3. Have a community meeting if it makes sense ( it might make more sense just to document what each person is doing vs needing a meeting )

    Let me know your thoughts

    Sorry Wayne, I missed this post.

    Where we left this during the meeting is that we'd gauge interest during the Town Hall, which is now on Wed July 9th at 3pm EST. I figure we have better odds of catching a live one there, but I'd be on-board with a post to see if anyone was willing to share (either orally or written).

    The last post I remember devolved into specific scripting requests, and I'm not sure if we should be pitching products.

    I'm on board with both your thoughts. Maybe as a middle ground we have some type of quick online poll to ask how people are handling tariffs? I have little interest in a drawn out meeting debating various approaches. However, it would be helpful to have a one-page cheat-sheet outlining how various consultants have approached this topic and then if a client wants to explore this further their consultant can take it from there.

    Maybe something like this as an example,

    A. How are you managing Tariffs or Surcharges?

    1. Manually - only using std Sage functionality
    2. An enhancement - ( leave space for name )
    3. Scripting
    4. Landed cost
    5. Other - ( space to supply answer )
    6. Have not been asked / see no demand for this

    B. For how many clients have you implemented some type of tariff or surcharge?

    C. If you used a third-party resource to assist with this - who or what was the resource - ( space to answer )

    Not even joking, I'd throw an option for "Increased Pricing to accommodate (and let the backoffice deal with it in whatever way they like)" since that's what most of my distribution customers have done

    My Acumatica customers are just using the built-in Landed Cost feature with defined accounts and Landed Cost Codes. Basically a non-event.
