adding cost to a sales order and invoice

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 89

We're trying to figure out a way to add cost to an invoice to reflect a more accurate gross profit by invoice.  For example we want to add the cost of shipping when we are shipping out of state.  Shipping is already built in the prices of the items but not to the cost of the items on the invoice.  We were thinking of adding a service charge with no dollar value.  But can we assign the cost of the service charge on the fly, by invoice.  This is how we achieve this with our other company that uses another ERP package, we're able to change the misc charge cost on the fly.

We were thinking of creating a service charge with a cost of $1 and use the quantity to come up with the correct cost to add.  Just checking if there is a better way of doing this.

Thanks.

    Hi nmirhan,

    What I have seen often is the use of 'dummy' items and charges but you already mentioned that.

    Probably set it up in a demo environment and let your users do some testing to see what they prefer from a handling perspective.

    Best regards,

    Hello Ludwig

    Thanks for the response.  Am I correct in saying that we can't change the cost of a service item on an invoice by invoice basis?

    Thanks.

    Hi nmirhan,

    Service items don't have a cost price, so you are right.

    The dummy items I mentioned would require a stock integration and a cost price setup. You have to check whether this is something you want to use or not.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
