Overview
NorthScope allows users to add, edit, or remove premium programs to be used on delivery tickets. Premium programs are used as a way to pay additional amounts (premiums) to a fisherman. These are most often used to pay additional money for fishermen that brought their deliveries all the way to the dock, or that took additional steps to refrigerate the catch. Premium programs are manually added to delivery tickets from the multi-select premium combo box on the Home tab of the delivery ticket. If a premium is manually selected for a delivery ticket, it is automatically added to all of the ticket line items.
Once the premium has been added to the delivery ticket, the rate can be manually edited.
Step 1: Adding a new Premium Program
- From NorthScope, expand the Purchasing module on the navigation menu and select “Taxes & Premiums” to open the Taxes & Premiums List View
- Click the “New” icon in the header and select “Premium” to open a blank Premium Program Record View.
When the Premium Program Record View is opened to add a new record, only the Properties tab is visible and only the base properties are open for edit. Once the base properties have been entered and saved, the remaining properties will be open for edit and all tabs will be visible.
Step 2: Assigning the Base Premium Program Properties
Until the base properties have been assigned, the new premium program cannot be added. Enter the following required base premium properties.
