Hi!

We may start using Item charge in Sales credit notes, if there is a temporary price adjustment or a reclaim where the customer will have the money back and we don't want to affect the inventory in any way.

When you use item charge, you have to assign it to a Posted shipment. That is not a problem. But what do this assignment really do? Does it affect the entry ledger? The cost? Something else?

When I try it I cannot find anything connected to this on the posted shipment or the item?

Item charge assigned to posted shipment - what do that connection do?

Item Charges impact the cost of the specific Line(s) they are assigned to. For example, if the cost of my Item was $10, and I assigned an Item Charge line of $4 for shipping, the cost of my Sales Line's ledger entry would be $14. You can see this in the Value Entries of the Item Ledger Entries where the change is visible.

The same holds true on the Purchase side. If I bought the Item for $10, then serviced the Item by cleaning it (Item Charge of $2), the Item would be sitting in my Inventory at $12 cost. Again, these additional entries are visible in the Value Entries of the Item Ledger Entry.

P.S. If you found this information helpful, please mark it as a Solution to your question.

Be careful what you wish for... you are using Item Charges for the wrong reasons... trying to accomplish another goal.

What is your actual goal?

using Item Charges will create additional VALUE ENTRIES valued towards the assigned Item Ledger Entry (in your example, the Posted Shipment Lines).

Stated otherwise: you will actually affect the cost / revenue of the Posted Shipment Lines.

So on your question:

- it DOES affect the Actual Cost on your ILE (by creating additional Value Entries)

- it does NOT affect the quantity of the ILE: the number of goods will remain the samen, it is their value that shifts.

And on your last question... yes you can attach it to another type of registration

I have checked the Value Entries, but no cost have shown up on my three tests cases. In the Item ledger entries list there is no transaction at all on this date. The unit cost on the item card has not change either.

So, I am not sure how to understand this..
