Apply shipping invoice and taxes to a stock entry

[sofia]

Hello,

1. I order something with a purchase order which only includes the the suppliers prices.

2. When it gets to the border, I have to pay taxes directly to the government. In the erp this would be recorded as an invoice that goes into a “tax credit” account.

3. The purchase arrives at our office. When it arrives, I also get my shipping receipt and have to pay the shipping company (DHL, etc.).

I’d like to be able to open my stock entry and apply the shipping payment that goes with it to the stock entry. That way the ERP can calculate the cost on a per entry basis since it is not the same every time.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Sofia

Question on the landed cost module

I am working with ERPNext because of the landed cost functionality but I am wondering how the expenses are tracked.  Right now I match a purchase receipt with a tax or charge of my choosing.  If I select an account like "inbound shipping" to update the cost that account would show the amount.  I have a purchase invoice for the shipping as well on the same account.  Wouldn't these show twice on the books? for instance: 10 items @ $10 (purchase receipt) shipping @ $10 through third party on net…

It would be good to give the landed cost module its own tab in the manuals or even its own video!!
