Cost Price of purchased goods

[V.S.]

Is it possible somehow when purchasing the goods to add to the cost price some additional components?
I understand that now, when posting the goods to the finance affects approximately as follows:

Db: Inventory Cr: Shipment not invoiced

I would like to get the additional transaction like:

Db: Inventory Cr: Some Additional Costs

and in new Lot
Lot Cost Price = Purchase Price + Some Additional Costs

This is due to the fact that under our legislation we are entitled to add to the cost of purchased goods some additional cost (transport, custom, etc.)

first i suggest you get familar with the catalog and product.
you will fine cost and even a place to put a custom cost calculation
service.

Yes, I saw it. But all my attempts with this somehow influence the forming of cost price for PURCHASING goods failed. And I thought that this scheme works only for the production.

Just tried again on https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/
I added 2 different cost components to the product and bought it. No any additional posting in finance is not created and  lot cost price of a new lot  is not affected.
Maybe somewhere there is at least a brief instruction on how to use Cost Components?

See Vol I pages 93-96
the estimated Costing model is for projecting cost, in the future. it is
not tied to production, and is one of my arguments about having
manufacturing in the base applications.
The estimate cost would be used to determine budgeting, or FOB of a product.

Ofbiz made a generic CostComponent model that lets you have both
estimated and actual cost per the link I showed you.
see the actual_other_cost using the General Cost Calc which puts the
cost in costGlAccountTypeId="OPERATING_EXPENSE".

the Automatic Cost calc is only setup for Estimated.
you need to add one for Actual.
or you would then setup one  activated by an SECA on the order if you
want it split out this way.


you can look at getProductCost
in application/product/scripts/org/ofbiz/product/cost/CostServices.xml
for a template of how to write one to accomplish what you want todo
