Re: Track sales packaging costs

I drafted a module lately that would add a line to the sale order when the 
stock.quant.package used in a picking involved there has a product defined.

Then it's up to the user to invoice that. Is that what you have in mind?

  • Track sales packaging costs
    Hello,

    Here is a functional issue I could use some brain sharing.

    A sales order needs packaging to be shipped to the customer.
    But product margins are tight and, depending on the value of the products sold, packaging costs can have a significant impact on the sales margin.
    Adding to the Product cost an extra amount for average packaging costs is not a solution, as the actual packaging costs depend on the sales order composition.

    This looks a bit like "landed costs" but for sales.
    It also looks a bit like "additional carrier shipping costs", but is an inventory expense rather than a vendor bill to be paid.
    There is no hard requirement to include the costs in the COGS, we are more interested in margin analysis.
     
    Thanks for sharing your ideas
