The Estimated Additional Costs is optional and only for information purposes (it is never posted). The estimated costs are later on compared with the actual costs that are posted additionally.
Additional costs, such as freight costs, insurance costs and handling fees, can be recorded in Business Central as Item Charges.
Add Actual Costs to Sale
Item Charges are entered on sales invoice lines and posted to customer accounts and the General Ledger.
Before posting the invoice lines, the item charges are assigned to posted shipment documents.
The invoiced amounts update the Value Entries for the shipped stock (item ledger entries) related to the posted documents that are assigned to the item charge.
When cost is recorded on a sales invoice line and allocated against a posted Shipment document, then the value is added to the “Sales Amount (Actual)” in the value entry table.
Note that the Sales & Receivables Setup must be configured as shown below so that Business Central will maintain posted sales documents that item charges can be assigned against.
Sales Invoice with Item Charges: Non-Inventoriable costs.
Sales Invoice - allocate cost to posted receipt - Not possible
This is not an option in NAV. In sales invoices it is only possible to assign item charges to posted shipments.
Sales Invoice - allocate cost to posted shipment - Sales Amount (Actual)
Use the 'Delivery Agreements Selection Wizard' on the 'Actions' tab in the sales invoice header to auto-populate the sales invoice line and item charge assignment.
After posting the sales invoice line with item charge the system adds value to the 'Sales Amount (Actual)' for item ledger entry for the posted shipment related to delivery agreement DA180014.
