Open the Item Overhead Rates window.

Indicates the overhead rates that will be applied to an item during positive transactions. The selected overhead rate code will have defined posting groups, which allows you to breakdown the overheads across multiple accounts.

When a location is specified, the overhead rate will only apply to items where the transaction has the same location.

The starting and ending dates determine which overhead rates are used when posting positive transactions.

If the Unit of Measure Code field is a weight UOM, and the item is a variable weight item, the overhead is based on the purchased item's weight.

The Overhead Categories field on the Item Card shows the total overhead rate. On the Item Card, if overhead categories were selected, the Overhead Rate field is cleared and can no longer be manually populated.

The Overhead Categories field on the Stockkeeping Unit Card shows the total overhead, but if any of the overhead rates are for the SKU's location, then that overhead rate will override the same overhead rate code with a blank location.
