# Transaction Sales Costs {% embed url="" fullWidth="false" %} ## Creating a Transaction e.g.. Sales Order When creating a Sales Transaction e.g. Sales Order, the QMC application introduces additional functionality on the TradeQloud tab. **Calculation of Sales Cost Budgets** As transaction lines are entered, any applicable Sales Cost Budgets will be displayed on the Sales Cost Budget field group. This allows for users to see which sales costs are applicable, before the transaction is saved. Changes can be made as follows: * Sales Costs can be excluded by checking the **Apply** check-box * Rates / Percents can be modified **Sales Cost Impact** Another field group displays the impact that the Sales Costs have on the rate, as well as the total cost * **Item, Quantity, Starting Rate Rate, Amount** are all sourced from the transaction * **Starting Rate** is the starting price for Sales Cost Calculations. This is sourced from the customer or item but could be changed on a transaction. * **Net Rate** is the rate of selling the item plus/minus all the applicable costs required to deliver it to the customer. * **Net Amount** is the Net Rate \* Quantity * **Cost** is the cost of the item. The cost is defined as the location average cost. * **Total Cost** is the Cost \* Quantity * **Margin** is (Net Amount - Cost) / Net Amount *** ## TQ Transaction Sales Cost When the transaction is saved, the application will create the **TQ Transaction Sales Cost** records. This record represents the application of the cost from the budget record. **TQ Transaction Sales Costs** can also be added manually to transactions, or existing records can be modified. Sales Cost Budget Filers are also created as **TQ Transaction Sales Cost Filters.** Item filters are stored directly on the transaction sales cost creation. *** ## TQ Transaction Sales Cost Allocation The application will also create a **TQ Transaction Sales Cost Allocation** record as a child to the **TQ Transaction Sales Cost** record. The record documents the allocation of each Transaction Sales Cost to individual line items within a transaction. It provides granular details on how sales costs are apportioned across items, ensuring precise cost tracking and financial accuracy in inventory valuation. {% hint style="danger" %} The Sales Cost Allocation records cannot be modified by users {% endhint %} *** ## Need Assistance? {% hint style="success" %} If you continue to experience issues after following this guide, we recommend reaching out for further assistance.
