How do I notify customers when metal surcharges change?
WebRun watches your metal and energy surcharge tables in Odyssey ERP for you. Every Monday, it compares this week's rates to last week's, logs any change with its effective date in Google Sheets, and drafts a surcharge notice in Outlook for each affected customer, left unsent so you can review the rate before anyone outside your company sees it.
- Every surcharge change is logged with its effective date instead of living in someone's memory
- Customer notices are drafted the same day a rate changes instead of days later
- No pricing notice reaches a customer without a human review

Questions, answered
Will surcharge notices go to customers automatically?
No. Every notice is drafted in Outlook and left unsent. You review the new rate and the customer list before anything goes out.
How does it decide which customers get a notice?
It checks Odyssey ERP for open orders and standing quotes tied to the alloy whose surcharge changed, and only drafts a notice for the customers actually affected.
Is there a record of past surcharge rates?
Yes. Every change is logged in the Google Sheets history with its old rate, new rate, and effective date, so you can see how a rate has moved over time.
