You will now have the option to add the External Charges to the GRV.
To add the external charge, you will note that there is an External Charges button on the bottom right of the screen.

If you are happy with the amount captured, select the Accept button.

Just note that the amount that is captured here is inclusive of VAT.
After the GRV has been processed, an additional page displays the GRV External Charge.
