Solutions to help more accurately record sales shipment estimated costs

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 206

I have searched and not found an answer for this.

Scenario

We sell goods both freight inclusive and ex-warehouse and then with item charge for sales freight.

However, in both cases our Profit & Loss and any Gross and Adjusted Margin Statistics are very inaccurate until we receive an invoice from the freight company (which can be up to 3 weeks in our case).

Sometimes in our goods freight can account for up to 20% of the freight inclusive price.

In our system we already have some customisations on a PTE level to create calculated freight but are happy to pull this out if there is a better system out there.

Any solutions that provide

Is anyone aware of a solution that:

1) At time, a Sales Invoice (or I guess a Sales Shipment) is posted an estimated freight charge and accrual is also posted.

2) Shows additional gross margin adjusted for estimated freight on the order and lines

3) Optionally tracks difference between estimated cost and actual cost when invoice is received

Please do not reply with

Using landed costs

    Hi,

    For this do customization. At the time of posting Sales Invoice, post general entry for above analysis.

    Given it touches posting routines and is likely something required by multiple customers (certainly it is not specific to our business) I would prefer if there was an appsource application or someone has supportable code..
