This field specifies how the program calculates the Cost Amount of the item in a transaction sales entry on the
POS terminals.
The cost amount is posted to the item ledger entries when the transaction sales entry is posted through
a statement.
There are three options:
Item Based: - The Cost Amount is the Unit Cost of the item.
If the Unit Cost is zero and the %1 field is not set to No Relationship , the program uses the following formula to calculate the Cost Amount,
:(Quantity * Net Price) *(1 - Profit %/100).
Product group Based: - The Cost Amount is always equal to:(Quantity * Net Price) *(1 - Default
Profit % of the Product Group/100).
Item Category Based: - The Cost Amount always equals to;(Quantity * Net Price) *(1 - Default
Profit % of the Item Department/100).
Based on the value in this field, the program can calculate the cost even if no cost has been registered
for the item in the Item table.
