FAQs

[back to top]


I have a question on a purchase order that was completed as a drop shipment and the cost from the manual journal has not been associated with the cost and so when it goes to the sales the margin is based on the cost of the product only. I also went to look at the Purchase Cost Analysis Report and the PO doesnt even show up.

We do not include manual journals and movements for dropship items in Purchase Cost Analysis because in this case nothing to add the cost to. No product movement has happened in DEAR, so journal is just a transaction. Drop Ship Purchases relate to profit/cogs figure in linked sale only. 


Is there a report except PURCHASE COST ANALYSIS REPORT  and PRODUCT PRICES BY SUPPLIER Report  which will also show the cost price versus the RRP (Recommended Retail Price) as a %? Basically, our prices change every week from suppliers so we need to keep track of these in a report to make sure we are charging enough. I would like to see the difference between 1 item cost and RRP - only the bulk items? Is there a function to work out the difference in cost?

Currently, we do not have such a report. However, you could definitely add this as a feature request in our forum, it sounds very useful from over here. Our developers will review this and take it up in due course. 


Hello, Can you point me to a report which tells me my cost on a per product basis?

You may try referring the below mentioned reports to view per product wise cost.


Why are my costs showing as 0?

This report is filtered by Stock Received date, but costs are assigned to a purchase on the purchase invoice authorisation date. If the invoice date is not covered by the reporting period of the report, costs from this invoice will show as 0. Expand the reporting period range to cover the invoice date to see the full costs or set Show Journal Costs to Show all Journal Costs.
