Cost on Special Order Items

To get the cost of a special order item to be accurate and carry throughout the entire order process, certain settings must be in place. These settings are on the Inventory File General tab for the specific item. In this example, we will use the item "SOD" which is a special order door that is used when selling a particular door to a customer. It is non-stock and special order because all doors are going to be different dimensions, material, and so on.

 

As you can see, the item must be labeled as a Non-Stock item with the Special Order box checked. This will allow whatever the Avg Cost is (the example above is 0) to be pulled in to the order. You can edit the cost when it is placed on the order and this newly entered cost will carry throughout the invoice and receiving process.
