322Dear community,
my customer wants to calculate a particular percentage of cost for particular items and whenever the items get purchased, the stock value should increase (e.g. 3 % for transportation costs).
I know that there's a possibility in standard to connect e.g. transport invoices to items afterwards, but doing this for every purchase order line would mean a lot of manual work for the users which they want to avoid.
I first tried to use charges (setup debit item, credit any account) which actually works (increases the item cost in inventory) but I don't want the calculated cost to get posted on my trade good P&L account as in fact no vendor invoices exactly this calculated amount.
So actually I'm searching for a solution to get costs on my inventory value of the item at the time of the purchase order receipt and invoice but not as a profit and loss in my accounting. The "real" profit and loss for e.g. for transportation cost will get posted with the invoice of the carrier anyway. If I have to post it nevertheless, I could use the same account (or two new accounts) for debit and credit in accounting, this wouldn't be a problem, but when I tried to set this up in charges, I didn't get the cost on the item value anymore, just on the accounts (debit P&L, credit P&L).
Does anybody have experience with this topic or probably just a very good idea?
Solutions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Katy
