HQ SO Question about costs for transfers

I have a location in Country A using store ops and am opening another location in Country B. I will be getting HQ soon and store ops for Country B. All items will be received in Country A, so there will be a cost associated with the item.

However, when I transfer goods to Country B to put into thier stock, I will need to change the cost to account for duty and freight. In other words, the transfer in for Country B will need to have a different cost from the transfer out from Country A.

Does HQ and/or SO have the capability to do this?

P.S. See also my thread about adding freight/duty/taxes to POs under "Add Duty and Freight to PO"

Todd- Thanks for the response. I don't have HQ now (only on SO store) so I can't check this, but it seems like it should work. When I do an inventory transfer in in SO now, there is a cost field. Let's assume I create a transfer out at Location A. I assume HQ will create the corresponding transfer in for Location B. Before I receive the inventory at Location B, why can't I just manually change the costs on the transfer order. When I commit to the database, it will update my item costs. Are you saying that the item costs would be updated at Location A as a result? I thought the HQ/SO setup allowed different costs at different locations...

Unfortunately, you can't use the formula button to adjust the amounts currently in the field - just the values held within the Item table. I really with they would add the functionality to be able to perform a funcion on the value currently in the cost field of the PO or transfer form.

In most cases HQ will not work accross multiple countries [taxes, currencies, etc...]. If you want to discuss your needs contact me.

RMS HQ/SO should work in my situation because there are no currency or tax issues. All inventory is costed in the same currency. I just have different warehouses in different countries with different costs. When I transfer from warehouse to warehouse, I need to update the cost basis for each item.

I really just need the simple question answered about how the transfer function works within the framework of HQ/SO.
