(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2,438

Hi All, 

We are a discount retailer. We buy truckloads of merchandise from many different brand name producers/retailers.  We want to book costs for the merchandise we purchased, the labor cost of the unpacking, merchandise sorting, and damage inventory.  Does anyone have any experience in managing these types of costs? Do you use truckload as a financial dimension to book costs and book profit margins? How do you book the labor time for unpacking and sorting merchandise? I appreciate any feedback on this subject.

    Thanks, Amith, for your response.  I'm not looking for Allocation method or charges or Costing Sheet.

    Hi Kim,

    If you are looking for feedback from Retailers, you may want to consider also posting this question in the Commerce forum:

    It sounds like you are looking for Landed Cost; but are not wanting to use charges allocation:
