Calculating the cost of a purchased Item is not only a question of knowing the Direct Unit Cost. It is often necessary to add one ore more types of Item Charges like freight, duty etc.
With TRIMIT Item Charge you have a very flexible possibility of handling
all these different Item Charges which may vary depending on for
instance the Country/Region where the Item is bought or the
specific Vendor delivering the Item.
Item Charges are used in connection with 1) Calculating the
Unit Cost of the Item and 2) Calculating the
Unit Cost of the Purchase Line.
IMPORTANT:
A prerequisite for using TRIMIT Item Charge is that the Use Standard Cost Globally parameter in the General Ledger Setup has a value different from No.
If you use TRIMIT Item Charge, you cannot use the standard NAV Overhead Rate fields found at the Item and Work Center Cards.
