Warehouses
Multiple Warehouses – Select if you require more than one warehouse.
Receiving/Transfers
Post adjustments to GL – When adjustments are made they will get posted to the GL.
Default Adjustment Account – Default GL account to post inventory adjustments to. User can override the account on each adjustment.
Transfer Markup Account – If a markup is required when transferring inventory, then a GL account will be required to post the markup to. Typically a sales account is used here. It will then debit the percentage set below to the inventory account setup for the receiving warehouse and credit the sales transfer markup account.
Default Markup Percentage – What default percentage will be used for inventory transfers if setup above.
Landed Costs

Enable Landed Costs – If “Enable Landed Cost” is on in the Company Settings, Inventory, then in purchase orders the vendor’s freight cost will get included in the cost of the items received. If it is not on, then the freight amount will get posted to freight expense.
Save Landed Costs – Automatically save the freight and Duty/Brokerage percentage entered on a purchase order to inventory for future orders.
