Landed cost

Capitalise freight and duty into the cost of the goods rather than expensing it.

Inventory → Landed costs.

Freight, duty and brokerage are part of what the goods cost you. Booking them straight to an expense account makes your gross margin look better than it is and carries inventory below its true cost.

How it works: choose the bill or receipt the goods arrived on, enter the freight or duty amount, and pick a basis:

• Value — in proportion to each line's value. The usual choice.
• Quantity — per unit. Right when items are similar in size.
• Weight — per pound. Right for freight on mixed goods.

Preview first. You see exactly what lands on each line and the per-unit uplift.

What posting does: the cost moves into Inventory Asset, and the remaining FIFO cost layers are lifted so future COGS carries it. Margin on the next sale is then correct.
