Contribution groups

Contributions allow you to include costs that cannot be directly allocated to a particular activity or product in your cost prices, and to make the origin of these indirect costs visible. You might want to use contributions, for example, to distribute warehouse costs and administration contributions to the cost prices of orders you have handled.

Register the types of contributions you want to use in Contribution groups. For instance, you could create the contribution groups 'Warehouse' and 'Administrative charges'. Then use the Contributions form to define the different contributions within these groups and to specify how they are to be apportioned to orders.
