  • Harmonisation Code
  • Description
  • Country
  • Duty Amount: this is for record keeping purposes only and has no effect on other parts of the system.
    Notes:

    2. The Harmonisation Codes are used with couriers and can also be added to reports using Basic Reports.
• Country of Manuf: Defines the country of manufacture for use with Harmonisation Commodity Codes.
• Net Weight: the net (i.e. unpackaged) weight of the item used for Harmonisation Commodity Codes. This net weight should not be confused with the item's average weight, which appears on the [ Stock | Detail | Properties ] screen and is used for Intrastat reporting purposes and when calculating shipped weights for courier selection, etc.

Stock Value Calc Method

• System Default: When Purchasing stock the stock value calculation method with be the same as the one found in [ System Operations | Edit System Values | Options | Stock ] tab.
• Last Price paid: When selected this overrides the system default stock valuation and will set the stock items value based on the last net purchase invoice price.
• Average Price: When selected this overrides the system default stock valuation and will set the stock items value based on the average purchase invoice price of all remaining items in stock.
• Standard Price: When selected this overrides the system default stock valuation and will set the stock items value based on the user defined figure typed into the [ Stock | Details | Properties ] - Stock Value field.
  Note: Non Stock Controlled items will use Last Price Paid method when the system is set to Average Costing, as an appropriate stock level to apply the calculations to cannot be determined so this method is used instead.
