DSD

WHSE GP
Warehouse gross profit. Calculation of COGS expenses. Measures how well we are managing our inventory.
What accounts make up warehouse GP?
- cost of good sold (debit or credit)
- inventory variances (usually debit)
- buying allowances (usually credit)
- transportation expense (usually debit)
- other COGS and cost of services (usually debit)
Buying allowances
Generated by supplier/merchant agreements in which we receive a percentage of the total inventory cost received in the building. Usually a credit balance. Warehouse allowances are excluded from SG&A networks since merchants capture this on their P&L.
