Setting up Cost Types
When making a payment that involves a fee, such as SEPA payments, the cost type code can define who should pay the fee. The cost type code can be defined on the payment method or directly on the vendor.
Note
All payment methods to be used for foreign payments are, by default set up to have the cost type code Shared, as this is the most commonly used cost type.
Payment Management comes with the following cost type codes:
| Cost type code | Description |
|---|---|
| Blank | If no cost type code is selected, costs and fees will not be considered for the purchase. |
| Shared | The costs will be shared between you and the vendor. |
| Vendor | All costs will be paid by the vendor. |
| Customer | All costs will be paid by you as the customer. |
| Swap Costs | All costs will be exchanged between vendor and customer. This means that the vendor pays your costs, and you pay the vendor's costs. This cost type code is rarely used. |
