Weighted Cost tab
The Weighted Cost tab of Maintain Sub Categories enables you to set up a percentage to automatically add on to the weighted cost for all items with this particular sub category.
System Variable: The 'ReceiveWCost' system variable must be set up with a Y to automatically calculate weighted cost in order for the additional amount specified here to be added on.
Type the percentage, in decimal form, to add on to the weighted cost. To automatically add this amount to your inventory with this sub category, click the Recalculate button. For new inventory added to AIMsi with this sub category, this percentage will automatically be added on to the Weighted Cost when the Cost is entered.
Example: You would like to add 5% of the inventory cost to the weighted cost to account for overhead for use when factoring sales commissions. You would then type .05 to the Percentage box in order for 5% of the cost to be added on to the Weighted Cost amount automatically.
Note: The weighted cost is used for informational and reporting purposes only and does not affect accounting.
