Examples of journal entries for transport costs from Order management

Example:

  • Article ABC has a fixed transfer price (VVP) of €5, a sales price of €15 and a purchase price of €6.
  • At the moment there is no stock, however, stock is tracked by Profit.
  • Stock journalising is enabled.
  • VAT 21%.

    For the article, you can record transport costs and a loss percentage. The thought behind this is that the transfer price you have entered also includes a component for the transport costs and loss, in both cases per unit. Profit calculates the loss percentage on the transport costs. Suppose the transfer price is €5.50, transport costs are €1.00 and the loss percentage is 2% = €0.02 per unit, the transport costs are consequently € 0.98.

In this example, we assume that the article groups have been configured in a certain way. Please refer to the configuration of the article groups.

The above example results in the following journal entry.
