How are you applying and tracking the state recycle fee associated with selling a battery. Are you using the "fee" button inside the actual part? Are you using a seperate GL code? Which report are you using to track how many per month are being collected?

I (in Florida) generated a separate part called State Battery Fee. Then I assigned it a unique GL code. It synchs to Quik Books and when the pmt is due I can pull it up and mail it off. Not sure if that is the right way but it works for me.

I'd recommend what Jeff's doing. You can either attach the fee part you create to your batteries, or setup a Parts Kit with your stocked batteries to automatically add the fee. Keep in alone in its own Account with a unique GL, and a Revenue by GL Code report will make this very easy for you to break out monthly.

Thanks to both of you. That's exactly what I ended up doing.

I agree with Jeff and Silky. I created a separate item, category, and gl code to keep the NJ tire fee separate from everything else. This makes it easier to pop up on any report I could use to see tjre fee
