Item Charge
Item Charge table is the standard Dynamics 365 Business Central table to be used to distribute additional costs across various types of items, including inventory, non-inventory, and service type items. The Transport Management application also uses this table to assign Landed Costs to a Transport Order.
Therefore we extended the table with a new field that give the possibility to exclude a specific Item Charge from the Fuel Surcharge Index Calculation.
