Apply additional costs to purchase orders
Overview
Additional costs of purchasing are charges like freight, surcharges, and customs duties. They’re costs beyond the line item costs (specifically, the Sub Total) of the goods you buy. You must apply additional costs to purchase orders so Cin7 Omni can calculate your landed costs accurately.
There are two types of additional costs: those you pay to the supplier, and those you pay to third parties. For example, if you purchase goods from overseas, the supplier may charge you for shipping while your country's customs authority charges you a tax on imports.
Apply additional costs (from supplier)
Additional costs from suppliers include freight, surcharges, and discounts. To apply and additional cost from a supplier:
Open the purchase order.
Add the cost of Freight (if any).
Add the Surcharge (if any).
Add the Discount (if any).
Click Save.
Additional costs from suppliers are distributed equally to the landed costs of the units in the purchase order.
Apply additional costs (from third parties)
Additional costs from third parties are typically for freight or customs. There are two ways of applying additional costs from third parties:
Linked transactions: You create a separate purchase order for the additional cost and link it to the original purchase order.
Additional (landing) costs: You add the value of the additional cost directly to the original purchase order.
