USA/China Tariffs as Surcharge

edited Aug 27, 2018 1:47PM in Accounting / ERP 3 comments

Hi All - I'm struggling with the correct way to tackle this problem.  With the new Tariffs imposed on some Chinese goods, we have to start changing our transactions to show this new charge on all transactions, but only for certain items that are subject to the new tariff.

POs, Receipts, Bills
Most of our vendors will be adding a surcharge to their invoices, which is fine, we pay the surcharge and it is correctly applied to an account that captures import costs.  Note that we are not paying the tariff ourselves, since we are not importing it (another entity handles the tariffs/taxes).  Also note that the COGS for the item does not increase, as the surcharge is not applied to the item, but rather to a non-inventory item.

Howdy, Stranger!
