Assigning an Item’s Core Cost

The core charge that a vendor assesses for an item can be stored along with the item’s price and cost information. This allows you to recall the core cost at point of sale, and it gives you the option to include the charge on a customer’s invoice or track it as a vendor credit. For more information see Recording Core Charges. An item’s core cost can be defined on purchase orders and receiving documents, or you can assign it directly to an item.
