Objective
The Fee Library allows Administrators to create and maintain a collection of commonly used fees for use within the SOW modules.
Fees are individual unit-based payments to the supplier on a per item basis, such as a flat amount for every laptop repaired.
Fees from an associated Fee Library can be selected from the Fee Definitions tab in the Characteristics section of an SOW.
| 1 | To view the list of Fees in the tenant, select Fee Library from the Services section of the admin menu. |
Fees must be defined in the Fee Library before they can be added to SOW templates. They can be added when creating an SOW from a template, and they can be copied from the library.
| 2 | All Fees must be defined as a particular Fee Rate Type: For Defined on Fees the fee value will be entered for this particular fee, and it will be assigned as a Fee Characteristic. For Defined on Lookup, the fee value will be determined based on the configured and assigned Custom Lookup, and it will be assigned as a Fee Characteristic. For Defined on Fees – Fee with SOW Workers the Fee value will be entered for this particular fee, and it will be assigned to SOW Workers. For Defined on Lookup – Fee with SOW Workers the Fee value will be determined based on the configured and assigned Custom Lookup, and it will be assigned to SOW Workers. |
| 3 | To view the details of a Fee, select an appropriate link in the Code column. |
In addition to the information contained on the list page, the fee library details page shows the configuration details of the selected fee.
| 4 | Fee Availability on SOW establishes whether a supplier can add the fee to an SOW. It can be enabled for all suppliers or associated to specific supplier. |
| 5 | If Enable Effective Fee Period is enabled, effective dates for the fee can be established. This fee would only be available for selection on the SOWs that are within the dates established on the fee. This field only displays when the fee rate type is Defined on Fees or Defined on Fees - Fee with SOW Workers. |
| 6 | Product indicates whether this fee applies to a product. |
WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, is building several new distribution centers in several countries, while simultaneously implementing new logistics software and processes.
Their first new distribution center is being built in a suburb of Atlanta, so WorkingNet will use the new Atlanta hub as their base of operations. They're going to engage CarryAll Consulting, a logistics design and implementation firm, to both help streamline their logistics processes as well as implement the new software.
In order to engage CarryAll, WorkingNet is using SAP Fieldglass to create the statement of work. However, while creating the SOW, Darius, the Logistics Manager for WorkingNet, realizes that after the software upgrade CarryAll employees will need to be trained on the software and logistics process. He decides to add a fee to the SOW to capture the costs of upskilling his staff. After negotiating with CarryAll, they settle on a flat fee per training session.
However, the fee does not exist in WorkingNet's SAP Fieldglass tenant, so he asks you, the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, to add a new fee to capture costs to be paid out for each training session.
The Fee Library in the SOW modules allows administrators to create and manage commonly used fees for unit based payments. Fees can be added to SOWs from the Fee Library.
