# Landed cost and FIFO stock lots

> What a unit really cost you: the supplier's price plus its share of freight, duty, brokerage and prep. Each delivery becomes stock lots, and sales use the oldest first.

## Add the extra costs

**Where in Bookalyze:** Purchase orders → an order → a delivery's landed cost

- **Freight**, **duty and import taxes**, **customs brokerage**, **prep and labelling**, **other**: each in its own currency and rate.
- Split each by **units**, **value** or **weight**. Freight is split by weight when products have one.
- A live preview shows each product's order price, extra cost and cost of one.
- **Pay or link** records the payment for a cost not paid yet.

## Stock lots

**Where in Bookalyze:** Inventory → Stock lots

Each delivery line is a lot: that product's units from that delivery, at landed cost in your main currency. The list shows units left ("38 of 50 left"), the cost of one, and the average per product.

Cost of goods sold takes units from the **oldest lot first** (FIFO). A lot's cost is shared to the cent, so nothing is lost or made up.

> **Caution:** A delivery whose units are already in a posted month's cost of goods sold can't have its costs changed until that month is undone.

## What you should see

What you should see:
- [ ] The lots' cost adds up to what you paid for the goods and the extras
- [ ] Inventory → Prices shows the landed cost beside each listing
- [ ] Channel profit uses these costs once the month is posted
