Charge management

The Publisher Client Charge Management program displays the monthly charges generated from the Distribution and Warehouse transactions files, Royalty contracts, number of years of stock on hand and any miscellaneous AP/GL payables. The generated charges can be reviewed and if the results are not as expected, then charge/cost definitions can be  amended and the extraction re-generated. The amendments and extraction process can be re-run as many times as required to achieve the desired results.
