Entering an Item’s Option Cost

If an item is assigned the option-cost costing method, you need to enter its cost, including federal excise tax, at point of sale.

To enter an item’s option cost

1. Start a work order or open an existing work order.

2. Add an item that’s assigned the option-cost costing method. Then enter the item’s quantity and price. TireMaster prompts you to enter the item’s cost by turning the line pink.

3. Select the line for the item and click Option Cost. The Option Cost screen appears.

4. Type the item’s cost or its corresponding cost-replacement code. For more information, see Cost-Replacement Codes. When the system control Force Option Cost Required is set to Yes, the amount entered must be greater than $0.00.

Note: If the item included FET when it was received, also include the FET in the cost.

5. To create a receiving document for the item or to add it to an existing receiving, select the Put item on a receiving document check box. Otherwise, clear the check box. For more information, see Putting Option-Cost Items on a Receiving Document.

6. Click OK.
