Question about COGS

beareaber

Hello,
I bought the Product Levels plugin and am currently testing the PO Pro plugin.

I have a question about the cost setup.
Did I understood correctly the documentation? Lets say that I have a product that cost $10 to manufacture in China. I write that $10 in the ATUM cost field. Then after some time, I make a PO and once I receive the PO I'm able to write the landed costs, which means that if there is a shipping or some other custom taxes, we can get those extra fees distributed between the products.
Questions are:

How are those fees distributed? If I ordered 100 small items and 100 big items, are the landed costs just being divided equally (/200) and distributed or they are devided based on the product price/weight? (if i ordered 100 tennis tables and 100 tennis balls, i don't want the shipping of $1000 to be devided /200, instead probably be devided based on the product value, so we can get a logical final total).

When we write the landed costs, what will happen with the BOM or product cost? Is it going to be replaced automatically?

One more question:
Is the ATUM cost field setup with or without TAX (my prices in the shop are setup to be filled with TAX, i have 20% tax option enabled). The sale price of the item (regular price is being written with tax).

Good Morning beareaber ,

Thank you very much for your purchase. Hope we can be of servise.

The system is not yet that advanced. When we planned this we had lot of users asking for a lot of different options and we simply could not please all as the development of all options was way too high.
The extra shipping for example can not be distributed automatically.
When you create the PO you have the option to set cost prices of products, add taxes and shipping cost. That you can send out. Shipping cost is just so you can show it to your supplier.

When you know the actual cost or amount of products that are coming, you need to edit the original PO and its product cost prices and stock. If you have multi inventory you can add inventories and take advantage of a different cost price per batches for example. However, you need to calculate the cost price yourself and amend it. Then when you add the items from the PO to stock they will save with those cost prices ignoring the extra shipping cost you initially added when creating the PO. Hope this makes sense.

The cost prices are without or with tax depending on WooCommerce settings for taxes. We can not really play here. So if your shop is set tax exclusive you need to manually add price no tax. If your shop works as tax inclusive you need to add prices with tax.

@Salva pls correct me if I am wrong and anything has changed or has been updated.

Thank you,

Pavel
