        During transaction processing, when a user selects a Charge on a document line, iDempiere looks at the associated Charge Type to understand how the amount should be accounted for, whether positive<\/strong> or n<\/strong>egative<\/strong>. Since charges are not linked to products, they do not affect inventory quantities, storage, or valuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        By using Charge Types, organizations can standardize how different kinds of non-inventory transactions are classified and posted, ensuring consistent accounting treatment and clearer financial reporting across the system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
