Hi, I have been facing a challenge of adding costs to procured products on FOB basis. Besides the supplier invoice, I pay Freight, custom duties, VAT and logistics costs which I cannot link to the product total cost to get an actual stock value. I tried a turn around solution as follows: (Example on duties) 1. Create a supplier called “custom duties” 2. Issue a PO with the product under duties, quantity = 1 and price = duties value. 3. I receive the virtual product at the warehouse. (now the weighted average price at warehouse is correct) 4. I do stock correction and deduct the quantity “1”. 5. Now I have a correct stock and value. Of course, there must be a more professional and straight forward way. If anyone could help, I would appreciate it. Thanks ---

What version? There is a charges field in products which lets you add extra charges for that product. [code] PRODUCT\_CHARGES =\> Adds an extra field for adhoc charges at the product buying price stage. The Cost price is then calculated with supplier price + charges if defined. Useful for extra costs for a product or certain delivery charges to the product. [/code ---

HI, I’m using 8.0.2, I can’t find this PRODUCT\_CHARGES field in products. Does it require particular action? Thank you. ---

Hello. We have the same problem. When we buy a product, we sometimes have additional cost, such as shipping or customs duties. Is it possible to add it to the purchasing price of a product? I have tried PRODUCT\_CHARGES, with values none/0/1, but I don’t see an extra field coming up in the product card (purchasing price). Please help if possible. 🙂 ---

Please check this post: > [@Product purchase and sale price](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/t/product-purchase-and-sale-price/22019): > > Hi, How can I put a percentage on the purchase price and make it available in the sale price? Ex. “product x” purchase value U$D 100.00 and I have to put a percentage of 15% (freight expenses/commission, etc) on the U$D 100.00 and U$D 115.00 appears as the sale price. Thanks BTW, I haven’t tried PRODUCT\_CHARGES. I’m using ver 14. I will check if that would work. ---

The field comes up though it doesn’t seem to do anything. Look just above Vendor description when you open Vendor prices.
