Problem statement
Inbound shipping costs for parts/items can really only be tracked via Extra Lines in a PO.
If shipping under certain incoterms such as EXW the cost of shipping/duties is actually in another PO with the logistics company.
With regards to the individual parts shipping costs are not factored into the cost of the part. So cost of the part could be way off.
Suggested solution
Ability to mark an "extra lines" item in a PO as a shared part cost.
The purchase cost of the item would then include it's "share" of the shipping cost. Any sale orders or price estimations, builds, would reflect this automatically calculated price.
If 100x Widget ABC was purchased from the supplier at $10/unit and these items were shipped EXW via Air for a cost of $1000.
Also the item is worth $10/unit. Because of the shipping cost, the actual landed price is $20/unit.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually calculating the actually contribution of the shipping cost for each part then adjusting the PO items unit price accordingly.
However, this looses track of the original price of the item (shipping prices can fluctuate a lot especially when coupled with bulk shipping, air/sea)
It also makes it harder to reconcile the PO to the original purchase from the supplier.
