Pricing, shipping and vendor details
What it does
Use the Pricing, Shipping and Vendor cards on an item to set its prices, its shipping details and its supplier.
The Pricing card takes these fields.
| Field | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Cost Price | What the item costs you |
| Average Cost Price | Read-only: the average you have paid per unit across received and opening stock |
| Tax | The tax rate applied to the item, with the amount it works out to |
| Compare at Price | The higher price you show a discount against |
| Price | What you sell the item for |
| Purchase Category | Free text for your purchasing accounts |
| Sales Category | Free text for your sales accounts |
Cost Price and Price each carry a checkbox for whether the figure already includes tax. Where one does, the item page marks it “(inc tax)“.
Lucrii works out Average Cost Price from each purchase order receipt and the opening stock an item import writes.
- It is the average you have paid per unit, before tax and after any discount. A 10.00 line whose price includes 10% tax averages 9.09. A price entered without tax is already the figure.
- Lucrii keeps the average in your organisation’s currency, so a purchase order placed in another currency converts at the rate on that order.
- Reversing a receipt takes it out of the average.
Both item forms take these shipping fields. The item page shows them.
| Field | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Shipping Weight | The item’s weight, in g, kg, lb or oz |
| Shipping Origin Country | Where the item ships from |
| Shipping Harmonized System (HS) Code | Your customs code for the item |
Vendor holds the supplier you buy the item from and their Vendor SKU. The vendor box searches your contacts. You type Product Category and Subcategory as free text.
Before you start
- Lucrii shows the Shipping card only on an item marked as a physical product.
- Shipping weight and the unit of measure are separate figures. An item sold by the Each ships at a weight in kilograms.
- Lucrii holds prices in your organisation’s currency, which you set in organisation settings rather than on the item.
How to use it
- Open the item and select Edit.
- Fill Cost Price and Price. Tick the checkbox beside either if the figure you typed already has tax in it.
- Choose the Tax rate. The item page shows what it comes to against your price.
- Set the vendor by typing their name and picking them from the list. Where the supplier is not a contact yet, select Create new vendor. A short contact form opens over the item with the name you typed filled in. Select Create to save the contact and set it as the item’s vendor.
- Select Save.
Troubleshooting
Average Cost Price reads None. Lucrii has no receipt from a purchase order for the item yet, and no opening stock from an item import. The figure fills in from the first receipt or the first opening stock.
A shipping weight shows blank. The weight has no unit.
