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

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.
