Travel Fee

We input a travel fee into each service of our estimates, but we don't want it to count towards our GM% and we need it to be just a flat rate.

Is anyone else doing travel fees? If so, how do you account for it?

That's what we are doing now, we have it listed as 'Other' but even then if we leave it alone Aspire has a mark up for it, so we manually enter the fixed price. 

Since we are doing it as an item, we now have to allocate it for each job. Is that the correct way?

I am not familiar with Aspire, so not too sure on that side of things.  It would need to be manually put on each invoice in ST to zero it out.

We use travel charge as a task item, but hadn't thought about GM%.  If you wanted to zero it out so that it doesn't affect it, you could add a cost item to it (like a material).
