Item charge/transport cost for subcontracted purchase orders

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Joey Portier 119
Hi all,
 
In our situation we use subcontracting purchase order for a specific operation (which we receive items for). When we receive the invoice for this there is always an extra cost attached for transport (This is not known beforehand and variable prices). For me it is important that I include these costs in the costprice of the item. With normal purchase orders you would do this via item charges but this is not possible in subcontracting PO's. 

Does anyone know how to include these costs in the costprice of my item in a workable way?
 
Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Standard BC doesn’t let you add item charges directly on a subcontracting PO, so the usual workable method is to post the transport cost on a separate purchase invoice as an Item Charge and assign it to the posted receipt/item entries from the subcontracting receipt, which pushes that cost into the item value; if that exact assignment flow doesn’t work in your setup, then there isn’t really a clean out-of-the-box subcontracting-specific feature for it, so you’re looking at either a manual cost adjustment or a customization.

    This is indeed a problem, and I suggest submitting this idea to Microsoft first.
