Acctivate’s costing features have been very beneficial because it lets us know more closely where we stand on the costing of our inventory and the true cost of it from an accounting perspective. We were initially attracted to Acctivate because of the costing flexibility.”

I use Acctivate from the costing side so we can see how to price things. It’s nice to see what we do from week to week depending on the price of the particular raw components. The pricing on our products or the cost on our products will fluctuate slightly but it is nice to be able to see that.”
Marty Monroe, Controller, DSX Access Systems

Now with Acctivate, not only is our landed cost more accurate, but so is our reporting on actual profitability, gross profit margin, net margins, and even in the potential profitability from possible offers or new business partners. The Landed Cost feature just pushed us that much further into being a serious company.”

Choose the Right Cost Method at the Product Level

Not all products or items are the same, so you should expect that your cost method will vary too.

Acctivate offers 5 different options for tracking your inventory cost including, average, LIFO, FIFO, standard and specific-identity.

The best part? Acctivate allows you to select the cost method for each new product you create, allowing you to isolate inventory cost based on product attributes and use-case.

Cost Methods

See Full Visibility of FIFO and LIFO Cost Layers

Using FIFO (First-In, First Out) and LIFO (Last-In, First Out) cost methods offer the ability to control COGS by utilizing the oldest or most recent cost incurred for a product.

This type of cost accounting can be advantageous for some businesses, and for those Acctivate allows you maximum visibility of the cost layers for each product.

*It’s important to note, this type of cost accounting carries strict IRS rules, and you should always consult your CPA before choosing one of these cost methods.

FIFO Cost Layers

Precise, Granular Costing at the Lot & Serial Number Level

Accurately capture Cost of Goods Sold with the ability to associate multiple costs to the different lot and serial numbers of a single product.

Unique unit costs can be tied to each individual serial number and lot number, which are defined upon inventory receipt and remain tied to the serialized or lot controlled product when they are sold.

Cost by serial / lot number

Calculate True Cost of Goods Sold by Automatically Capturing All Additional Costs

Know the true inventory valuation of all products by having additional costs beyond the purchase price (i.e., duties, taxes, VAT, government fees, customs, freight, insurance, etc.) accurately allocated across one or more transactions based on quantity, value or weight of a product.

Landed cost can be figured at any point, whether the costs are known at the time of receipt of the goods, or afterwards.

With landed cost attributed correctly, businesses can make informed decisions concerning product sourcing & profitability.
