Hello Zev,

I also met the idea, but it does not solve the problem. Both freight and custom fees increase cost of purchased goods that is reflected on inventory account. Actually, if freight cost is on the invoice with parts I can proportionally increase the price of parts to get the same effect.
Custom fees increase the cost of goods, but not payables to the supplier. So I cannot use the above method.
If I use your method I get higher payables to the supplier, although part of it belongs to custom office. I cannot have two vendors (i.e. real vendor and custom office) for one purchase order.

Maybe there is another solution :)

Thank you,
Aleksander Opoczynski

Hello Aleksander,

To add Freight and customs fees I would add a Service (Goods and Services > Add Service) for each of those fees and leave the price $0.00.

In a purchase order or sales order or similar add the service in the same section you add products and assign a price to it.

Let me know if that is confusing and I can send you screenshots.

Hello to everybody on this forum!

it is my first post here. I am complete newbie at LedgerSMB that I have
just installed. I try to do different operations and some questions
related to import/export operations arouse:

Purchase of goods:
- freight cost and custom fee is a part of cost of purchased goods. How
should I include it in purchase document?

Sale of goods:
- origin of goods is often required on export invoices. How can I
control and declare it in LSMB?

Thank you,
Aleksander
