Topic: Supplier Shipping Account

I have another question regarding accounts - I am using the English - Great Britain - General.

I have a quick entry set to allow me to add shipping on to a suppliers invoice and this works fine. I have this set to go in to 7500 (Postage and Carriage) which is of type General and Administrative Expenses which is of type costs.

I have just created a Profit and Loss Drilldown and seen the Cost Of Goods Sold (type costs) section includes Materials Purchased.

I am now thinking that as the shipping is also part of the cost of goods sold in that I have to pay it to receive my stock that this shipping should be under the 5202 (Carriage) account in the Cost Of Goods Sold section.

Does this sound correct? They are both costs so I don't think it makes much difference except it sounds/looks like the better place for the supplier invoiced shipping to be.

Re: Supplier Shipping Account

Hello kerrsmith,
You are absolutely right. It is better using the Carriage account, 5202 for the freight cost of the purchased goods.
