Import Costs

Costs can be added, apportioned and invoiced at any time until the shipment is Finalised. Costs can be from a creditor or can be attached to a General Ledger code only e.g. cost recovery.

Costs are apportioned to physical inventory items only and are apportioned by Cost, Quantity, Weight or Cubic. Where multiple purchase orders are attached to a shipment, costs can be apportioned to all orders or selected orders only. Individual lines can be excluded from the apportionment of import costs.

If import costs are not known at time of booking in stock, then an estimate can be made and apportioned and changed until costs are finalised and invoiced.
