Accounting for Receiving
========================
Rattail provides a separate phase entirely for accounting (see
:doc:`../accounting/index`) but in practice it is often lumped into
the receiving phase. So here we'll describe how it works in
receiving.
The Basics
----------
Where some of the data comes from will depend on the receiving
workflow, but in general here is what we're concerned with, for *each*
individual line item:
* case size
* case cost
* unit cost
* cases received
* units received
* total cost
Ideally only the "cases/units received" amounts are provided by the
user, with all other values being read from PO and/or invoice file.
Although we also must consider credits for damaged, expired, not
shipped etc.
The "total cost" is normally calculated by multiplying received
quantities by cost. It is reduced by any credits present.
