Disclaimer: I’m the creator of Alfred Purchase Orders – naturally related space/app.
On our Purchase Order page/module, we support adding order-level costs & credits in 4 categories:
- Discounts & credits
- Shipping/Freight
- Custom Duties & Fees
- Other Fees
And we offer 3 methods to allocate each of them to the line items:
- Weight based (each line item’s share of the entire POs weight)
- Value based (each line item’s cost share of the total PO subtotal)
- Unit based (each line item’s split based purely on unit quantity)
I’m not sure if this has covered all the bases but I have yet to hear feedback from a merchant who hasn’t been able to tune their landed cost calculations to their liking yet (but to be fair it’s still relatively new/early for us!)
I’m curious to know how else folks are doing it.
