How to distribute a sales price over multiple revenue accounts

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 221

Our sales rate consists of the components: covering freight costs and turnover. Is it possible to distinguish between these in the general ledger?

For example:
sales rate is €10.
€2 relates to cover the freight costs.
€8 is the turnover we have left over.

We would like to book €2 to the 'turnover freight' account and €8 to the 'turnover article' account. Is this possible?

further info:
- Freight costs differ for each article. It is therefore not possible to allocate a fixed percentage to transport costs.
- On our invoice we only want to show the selling price so not the distinction which part relates to freight costs.
- Customer insists on freight costs being included in the sales price

    You can achieve this using item charges and minor customizations to the sales order or invoice report.

    i.e. on your sales order enter 2 lines:

    line 1: item with €8 price

    line 2: item charge for freight applied to the 1st line, €2 price, or whatever price is required

    Each line would be tied to a different G/L account based on the posting groups. You would then customize your sales order or invoice report to consolidate the 2 lines in the order to 1 line in the report, so in the report you would have 1 line for €10
