How are cost prices updated through Purchase Orders

We use the weighted average pricing model based on your existing inventory only.

When you receive items in a Purchase order, the cost of the product is updated as per the following calculation.

We calculate the per unit landed cost of the product in the PO.

Per unit landed cost in the PO = ((line total - line tax)/line quantity + Extra shipping fee + Duties and charges are distributed over all products in PO based on line total) x currency conversion rate

The currency conversion rate is 1 if the PO is made in default currency. If you are using any other currency, then you must update the correct conversion rate in PO.

After calculating the landed cost, we calculate the new cost price as follows

New cost price = (existing inventory x existing cost price + quantity received in PO x per unit landed cost in PO)/(existing stock + quantity received)

We do not update the cost of product if you have filled 0 in the purchase price of the product in PO

Here's how the calculation for cost is done with a simple example -
