Shipment Tracking & Costing
The importing & shipment costing system is designed to assist importers, exporters or those for whom
shipping costs represent a significant portion of a stock item's total cost.
Multiple purchase orders can be consolidated onto a single costing 'job'. Currency conversions are handled
automatically, and freight, shipping, local cartage, duty and other charges may be
factored into your final inventory cost value. GST can be carried
through the costing process onto supplier invoices, but is excluded
from affecting your inventory cost value.
Cost History
A landed cost or local cost history is maintained, so you can easily
compare the last shipment
cost with the current cost. The costing 'job' is then allocated against one or more supplier invoices. Supplier
account balances, shipping history, and inventory cost and stock levels are updated in the one procedure. A
shipment costing report can be printed, as well as stock labels.
Shipment Tracking
Multiple shipments may be entered and tracked simultaneously. The status of each shipment may also be set,
such as: staging, in-transit, landed, at customs, etc.
Shipments may also be assigned shipment numbers, container numbers, vessel/craft information, port of
shipment or arrival, the ETA on the arrival date, and the agent managing the shipment on your behalf.
Allocate freight, shipping, insurance, duty and other
charges to your purchase ordered stock.
Allow you to distribute costs by proportioning by
price, weight, volume or quantity. Or by manually
allocating costs item by item.
Convert foreign currency purchases into local
currency.
Automatically retain a purchase cost history of your
stock. This will allow you to compare prior transport
costs with current costs.
Deliver the stock and update your Stock Control
system.
Produce multiple supplier transactions (as necessary)
during costing, for your supplier, freight forwarder,
local freight company, etc.
Allocate purchases, and various other expenses, to your expense code table or
general ledger chart of accounts if the general ledger is being used.
Optionally print stock labels.
Optionally print other types of reports including stock delivery costing
information.
Foreign currency purchases are translated into Australian dollars automatically
during costing process.
Shipment Cost Adjuster, adjust costs for selected goods if or when additional
expenses become apparent, even after the shipment has been costed.
Shipment ETA: Changing the shipment ETA autoatically adjusts all expected
arrival times for all goods linked to the shipment.
