Hi Add a purchase invoice item charge direct to a sales order shipment, this will inflate the cost as it is a non-inventory charge, opposed to when you apply the charge to the purchase receipt and then sell it.

Hi Adam,

Could u explain this sentence little more " Add a purchase invoice item charge direct to a sales order shipment, this will inflate the cost as it is a non-inventory charge, opposed to when you apply the charge to the purchase receipt and then sell it. "

I could not get exact meaning.

thanks and regards

I cannot really remember - I must have looked at it!

Anyway it probably means your purchase invoice, and therefore the additional cost of the item, if applied to a PURCHASE receipt, will show, ultimately in the cost of the item. However if you apply the purchase invoice to the SALES shipment then it has not affected the cost of the item in your system and is therefore treated as an additional cost that cannot be attributed to inventory, and is therefore considered non-inventoriable!

Hope that helps, although I could be writing rubbish!

What AdamRoue wrote is correct.

Its important to note because your non-inventoriable costs will effect the profitability of the sale, but won’t effect the amount of what’s reduced from inventory.

I think the general idea is the costs that are associated with acquiring goods (purchase side) should be included in how the goods are valued (inventory valuation). Costs associated with selling goods are just expenses but don’t effect the inherent value of the goods themselves.

Hi Guys,

Thanks fot the thread, it’s a bit old already, but still helpfull

I have spend a weekend on this (to see what we can do, as the company I work for as posting all directly to GL on dimension) and I think the reason for not posting this on the inventory is that the inventory is not there anymore. You have sold it, so costs are going directly to GL, not through adding it first to the item, as there is qty left.

I was puzzeled by it, but after thinking about it, it makes sense.
