How to Handle Retail Delivery Fees Required by State

Currently Colorado (Retail Delivery Fee | Department of Revenue - Taxation (colorado.gov)) and Minnesota (Retail Delivery Fee | Minnesota Department of Revenue (state.mn.us)) impose a retail delivery fee on all deliveries by motor vehicle with at least one item of tangible personal property subject to state sales or use tax. 

How is this handled in RFMS?

Solution One: add a service for the fee. 

1. Create a Service record for the Retail Delivery Fee by going to Products>File>Services
2. This service should be added to each order that will be delivered.
3. The service will be printed on the invoice.

Solution Two: When booking or job costing add a Misc. Extra Cost

1. Enter the delivery fee rate in the Misc. Extra Cost box
2. For monthly reporting, go to Sales Reports>File>Materials Analysis>Orders to run the report for the lines for the collection month.  This will be the remittance amount.

  Note: If your company is set to Use Tax and a "Cash and Carry" order is delivered to the customer, the above solution will not address this.
