What do I need to consider when importing charge types into Scope?

The import works via an xls file. Certain rules apply to this file, which are explained in this article.

Mandatory fields

The columns in the file can change dynamically depending on the localization. The following columns must be filled in for the import:

A = Charge type code (name of the charge type)

C = Type (type of charge type (Service = S, Goods = G or Customs = D))

D = Description (description of the charge type, for searching in Scope and printing on forms)

H = Breakdown (distribution from master to house)

L = General Ledger Filter (name of the G/L account filter, which is defined in the second tab “General ledgers”)

The following columns should be filled for localization:

E, F, G and other languages on your scope system as required.

The values entered in E, F, G and others will then appear when searching for the cost element (depending on the language of the logged-in user) and when printing the cost element (depending on the language assigned to the business partner).


The result looks like this in Scope:

Further configuration options

Airfreight export-specific settings can be found in columns I, J K:

Here, you can specify how the cost element should appear on the AWB.

Further optional fields are described in https://service.riege.com/en/knowledge/how-can-i-manage-charge-types

M = Transit

N = Equal cost

O = Tax-free on Imports/Exports: If this cost type is used for an import settlement, no taxes are calculated for this item by default.

P = Air freight surcharge

Q = Main transport related

R = Print construction: The calculation of how the amount of the invoice line is made up is printed on the invoice, e.g. 0.60 ct / 150 kg

S = Invoice restriction: Restriction of the cost element to outgoing invoice (AR) or incoming invoice (AP)

T = Transport modes
