How to allocate demurrages to inventory items.

Posted on by Community Member

Hi All

We receive inventory in a government owned warehouse where we can keep the inventory up to maximum of 6 months. If we are unable to clear our stock within said time we have to pay demurrage to govt on that inventory. 

Now stock is already received in Dynamics GP and all duties and landed costs have already been allocated at the time of Receiveing. Now we want to allocate that demurrage to the inventory items not cleared.

How Does Dynamics GP addresses this situation and which window to be used to allocate these demurrages to the said uncleared shipment.

whether dynamics gp allows us to create a new landed cost ID for Demurrages and attach it to the shipment at the time of clearance? If so how and which window to be used to do this.

Best Regards

    Since the demurrage occurs months after the inventory has been received and posted with all landed cost components, the only thing that I can think of that would allow you to adjust the cost for the demurrage fees is the Inventory Adjust Cost window (Inventory > Utilities > Adjust Cost). Unfortunately, this process is manual, since you will still have to enter the AP invoice separately for the demurrage fees, and manually adjust the cost of the receipt (or various receipts) to go along.

    At least, however, there's a place to do it.

    Couldn’t the demurrage be setup as a reason code and the adjustment/variance be handled in that manner? Pretty much like retailors handle damaged goods or goods that cannot be sold at full asking price.

    No, as demurrage is a fee. The issue is, if the goods are sold by the time you need to pay demurrage fees, then you also need to adjust the cost of goods sold. The only thing that can do that is the Item Adjust Cost window
