Location Fees


What is a Location Fee?

Learn More

A Location Fee is a type of Client Fee that can be billed as a Client Line Item on your Client Invoices. These fees are applied at the Location level, allowing you to create client line items that consolidate data across all services within that Location. Location Fees generate a single client line item (per billing frequency) for a specific client invoice.

Anatomy of a Location Fee

This section outlines the primary details and attributes regarding a Location Fee.

Primary Fields

  • Location

    This is the Location that the fee is being generated for.

  • Line Item Category

    This is the categorization that will be given to the Client Line Items that are generated from the Location Fee.

  • Billing Style

    This setting controls the way in which the Location Fee amount is calculated. There are two options: *fixed* and *formula*,Billing a fixed amount will generate a single client line item for the amount specified in the 'Amount' field. Billing a formula will generate a dynamic amount that's calculated based on the formula specified in the 'Formula' field.

  • Header Label

    This is the name of the Location Fee as you would like it to appear in Discovery.

  • Label

    This is additional Information/labeling you would like to include for this Location Fee.

  • Start Date

    This is the date you wish the billing for this fee to start on.

  • Formula

    A Location Fee in Discovery can be billed using a very powerful formula system that's derived from the data that's accrued by Discovery throughout the invoicing processing workflow.

    A formula can be created using the following operators:


    + Addition

    - Subtraction

    * Multiplication

    / Division

    ^ Exponentiation

    % Modulus

    () Parentheses

Formulas also support variable interpolation that allows the creation of simple fees such as the following:

{audited_savings} * 2.50


The Following Variables are available for use in your Location Fee formulas:

    • {vendor_service_charges}: This will reduce down to the sum total of all billed vendor services charges for given *frequency* and the current open Fiscal Period in Discovery.
    • {client_service_charges}: This reduces to the sum total of all client services charges (on client invoices) at a Location, for a given *frequency* and the current open Fiscal Period in Discovery.
    • {extraneous_client_service_charges}: This is a subset of the {client_service_charges} variable that's filtered to included the sum total of Client Line Items that originate from "Extraneous" Vendor Invoice charges only. These 'Extraneous' charges will be excess, contamination, and other unexpected charges that your hauler billed.
    • {rental_client_service_charges}: This is a subset of the {client_service_charges} variable that's filtered to include Client Line Items that originate from "Rental" service charges only.
    • {rolloff_client_service_charges}: This is a subset of the {client_service_charges} variable that's filtered to include Client Line Items that originate from Rolloff (both haul and tonnage) charges only.
    • {rolloff_tonnage_client_service_charges}: This is a subset of the {client_service_charges} variable that's filtered to include Client Line Items that originate from Rolloff tonnage charges only.

    • {audited_savings}: This is the sum total of audited service savings from the Vendor Invoice processing workflow. At the Location level, it will reduce down to the sum total of all Vendor Invoice audited savings for all services that fall under the Location. This is of course also based on the *frequency* of the Location Fee and will also vary based on the current open Fiscal Period in Discovery.
    • {occ_weight_in_tons}:This is the summed total weight (in tons) of all OCC wasted generated across all locations and services during the given *frequency* and Fiscal Period.

    • {occ_weight_in_kilos}:This is the summed total weight (in kilos) of all OCC waste generated across all locations and services during the given *frequency* and Fiscal Period.
    • {wood_weight_in_tons}:This is the summed total weight (in tons) of all wood waste generated across all locations and services during the given *frequency* and Fiscal Period.
    • {wood_weight_in_lbs}:This is the summed total weight (in pounds) of all wood waste generated across all locations and services during the given *frequency* and Fiscal Period.
    • {wood_weight_in_kilos}:This is the summed total weight (in kilos) of all wood waste generated across all locations and services during the given *frequency* and Fiscal Period.
