📊 Transport Cost Margin

Introduction

The Transport Cost Margin module lets you mark items (inventory, G/L accounts, resources, item charges) as transport costs. This way, on sales documents you see which lines are transport costs — making it easier to analyze margins split by goods and transport.

The module is available in the following areas:

• Item Card and Item List
• G/L Account Card
• Resource Card
• Item Charges
• Sales Order, Sales Quote, and Sales Invoice lines

How It Works

Marking Items as Transport Cost

On the item card, G/L account card, resource card, or item charge card, a Transport Cost field appears (yes/no).

When you mark an item as a transport cost:

• On sales order lines with that item, the N24TC | Transport Cost field is automatically set to Yes
• The field is visible on sales order, quote, and invoice subforms

Automatic Assignment from Shipping Agent Catalog

If the Shipping Agent or Shipping Agent Service card has a Transport Cost Type and Transport Cost Type No. assigned, the linked item (inventory, G/L account, etc.) automatically receives the Transport Cost = Yes designation.

Changing the assignment on the shipping agent triggers a prompt to remove the designation from the previous item.

Visibility on Sales Documents

The N24TC | Transport Cost field is visible on the following subforms:

• Sales Order Lines
• Sales Quote Lines
• Sales Invoice Lines
• Posted Sales Invoice Lines
• Sales Shipment Lines

How to Enable

The module does not require separate activation — the Transport Cost field on item, G/L account, resource, and item charge cards is available immediately after installing N24 Transport Costs. To mark an item as a transport cost, set the Transport Cost field to Yes on its card.
