Item charges aggregate to "Cost of Sales" in P&L: unable to view breakdown of charges incurred

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

Hi, we're setting up BC and we have lot of item charges for costs such as customs duties, shipping costs, surveyor fees, shipping insurance etc that we have set up.

We have set up posting groups to record these item charges into direct costs to their own codes but the system simply lumps them all in with the direct product cost and gives us one lump figure.

This means we cant look at our P&L and see how much we are spending on "shipping" for eg and prevents us being able to review and therefore manage our costs correctly. 

Any idea how we can get the system to show the breakdown in the P&L so that we can review and control these costs?

Thanks!

Darren

    Hi Darren,

    Thank you for your question posted in Communities.

    Question for you is where are you adding the Item Charges to?

    If you are adding them to the Sales Order, I believe the charge will be lumped into the Revenue.

    If you are creating a Purchase Invoice, add the item charge, and assigning the Item Charge to the Sales Shipment, this cost will be updated within the subledger Inventory Table 5802 'Value Entry' (and Table 32 'Item Ledger Entry') in the 'Cost Amount (Non-Invtbl.)' field....that will hit an expense account typically on the P&L...via Purchases Account within General Posting Setup.

    Hope that helps, thank you! :)

    Darren,

    To add to Bryan's reply, attached is a Charge(Item) Training manual I use for my customers. It helps on the Purchase and Sales side.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve
