Inventory unit cost

I purchased inventory item under one supplier how ever there is extra cost need to be added on cost without effect on supplier.
for example
I purchased from X supplier goods about 100 item each item 10 $
now i have to pay 1000 $ to X and the cost per item will be 10 $
but now I have internal additional cost lets say 100 custom + 400 extra legal expenses total 500 extra cost not related to supplier or purchase invoice and the unit cost should be increased by this value to be 15 $ how can i do this with manager io

Hi
In my opinion you can create general journal
debit: inventory on hand; select item from dropdown list, type customs and legal expenses at line description.
credit: bank and cash or accounts payable.

thanks for your reply however sometimes there is more than 100 item in one time how can i handle it

Whenever you are entering extra cost of an item which you paid to another supplier through payment or Purchase Invoice just select item, enter amount and leave the qty blank.

Unfortunately in case of freight in or extra cost related to separate supplier other than purchase invoice supplier manual allocation is the only method to allocate extra cost into items inventory cost.

how it’s work

allocation by adding general journal as i mentioned above.

ok thanks i thought there another way :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello @ahmed_mohamed,

There could be another way. Additional costs can be applied to Inventory Items using Freight-in feature.

The following from guide. it can be helpful
“Entering freight-in charges manually for purchases involving many inventory items may seem tedious. But there is a simple shortcut that can streamline the process. View the payment or purchase invoice by which the items were purchased. Click Clone to generate a purchase form of the same type (payment or purchase invoice) listing all the same inventory items. Edit the form for the different Payee or Supplier . Delete quantities and enter the desired freight-in allocations in appropriate Unit price fields. Click Create”

This only works if one supplier is involved and the supplier charges you for goods as well as freight. But built-in freight-in feature doesnt work if you are paying freight/duties&taxes to other entity which is the original issue of OP.
@lubos mentioned that in future freight-in amount can be applied to other invoices so until then manual input is the only option.

I thought it worked if you uses used a Qty and 0 unit price.

Turns out I was wrong
