Blackpurl lets you include fees in the profitability calculation for customer orders. This article explains how to configure the Include in profit calculation setting when creating a new fee or editing an existing one, and how fees interact with your accounting integration.
Setting Up a New Fee
When creating a new fee, the New Fee dialog includes an Include in profit calculation field. Enable or disable this setting using the toggle before saving.
Open the New Fee dialog.
Fill in the required fee details.
Set the Include in profit calculation toggle to the position you require.
Click Save to finish creating the fee.
Editing an Existing Fee
You can update the profit calculation setting on any existing fee record by opening it in edit mode.
Navigate to the relevant fee record.
Click Edit.
In the Edit Fee window, set the Include in profit calculation toggle to the position you require.
Click Save to apply the change.
How Fees Work with Accounting Integration
Because fees do not carry a cost value, the only value pushed to your accounting package is the income value. This income value is determined by the setup on the relevant fee category and sales tax — no cost integration occurs for fee lines.
