Questions & Answers
How can I view the actual value of stock items including the Additional Cost of Purchase?
You can view the actual value of stock items, including the Additional Cost of Purchase, in the Stock Summary report.For example, if the value of Copper Wire in the Stock Summary is ₹3,060 and its value in the Stock Item ledger is ₹3,000, then the additional cost allocated to the item is ₹60. This helps you understand the actual cost of the item and determine an appropriate selling price.
