This section contains check boxes which act much like the Tracked By boxes, but
contains a different set of fields (PO, Supplier and Customer) which are always
available for use, even if they are not required. For example, if the option is not
enabled for the Supplier Code field, a user adding inventory can enter a value for
Supplier Code if he knows it or skip entering a value if he doesn't. If this option is
enabled, a value for Supplier Code is required to complete the transaction.
Cost
Cost specifies the amount your company paid to get this item into inventory. This
is an optional tool to help you track your average cost. Cost handling in
InventoryControl is designed to show you the average cost and current value of
your inventory. You can use this cost information for other purposes as well,
such as determining pre-tax and purchase order totals and receiving totals.
This amount represents your cost for purchasing one of the stocking units for this
item. If one Barcode Laser Scanner costs $300.00 you will enter 300 into the
cost field. If you have items in your inventory that are sold in fractional quantities,
you will need to decide which stocking unit to use. For example, if you have
Rope as an item and it costs you $0.12 a foot, you would enter 12 in the Cost
field and Feet as the Stocking Unit (entered on the Additional tab). If you rarely
sell the rope in exact multiples of feet, you may want to enter your Stocking Unit
as Inches, since this is the lowest unit measured, and enter your cost per inch in
the Cost field. It is up to you how you want to calculate this; however, you should
make sure that the Cost you enter is the cost for one whole Stocking Unit (either
Feet or Inches, in our example).
Keep in mind that you can enter a new cost on the Add Inventory screen if you
purchase this item at a discount.
