Introduction
This guide explains how to add product costs—such as customs, shipping, packaging, raw material costs, or accessories—to your cost price in TRAEDE. Product costs help calculate the final landed cost of an item by combining supplier cost, percentage-based costs, and fixed additional costs.
Before following this guide, make sure you have already set up your cost price sets. If not, please see the previous video and article on how to configure them.
Step 1: Go to the cost price set
Open the product.
Navigate to the Production tab.
Click Cost prices.
Select the cost price set you want to work with (e.g., Default – EUR).
Step 2: Set the base cost price
Update your cost price for each variant (e.g., 100 EUR).
You can:
Update one variant individually using Set prices, or
Update all variants at once using the checkbox + Set price.
Step 3: Add customs and shipping (percentage-based costs)
In your setup, customs and shipping are configured as percentages, so the quantity field is disabled.
Under Customs, enter the percentage (e.g., 12%).
Under Shipping, enter the percentage (e.g., 2%).
Important notes
Customs should only be applied to products bought outside your tariff union / EU.
Shipping should only be added if shipping is not included in the supplier’s invoice.
Step 4: Add product-specific additional costs
Some product costs—such as sunglass cases, packaging, or accessories—can be entered as a fixed amount or a percentage, depending on how the cost type has been configured.
Example:
Sunglass case cost type allows fixed amount per quantity.
Example scenario
Sunglass cost price: 100 EUR
Customs: 12%
Shipping: 2%
Sunglass cases: 2 cases per unit, 1 EUR each
Steps:
Enter 2 in the quantity field (e.g., 2 cases per product).
Enter 1 in the amount field (1 EUR per case).
Click Update.
Step 5: Review your total cost (landing cost)
TRAEDE will automatically calculate the total cost:
Base cost: 100 EUR
Customs (12%): 12 EUR
Shipping (2%): 2.24 EUR
Sunglass cases: 2 EUR
Total landed cost:
116.24 EUR
TRAEDE will then convert this using your exchange rates to show the final inventory value (e.g., 164.24 DKK).
Step 6: Add only the correct costs
To ensure accurate landed cost:
Only add customs where applicable.
Only add shipping if not included in your supplier’s invoice.
Only add product-specific costs (e.g., sunglass cases) to the products that actually require them.
You can leave fields empty if they do not apply.
Example mistake correction:
If working with a shoe, you should not add sunglass cases.
Leaving them blank will produce an accurate landing cost.
