# Additional Charges

P4 Books Cloud Accounting - Additional Charges

Additional charges are costs added to a purchase order for items such as insurance, documentation fees, customs duties, and handling charges. Each charge can be assigned to a different general ledger account so you can track and report on these costs separately.

To create an Additional Charge:

1. Go to **Master Data** > **Purchasing** > **Additional Charges**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Enter the charge code, description, and the G/L account where the cost should be posted.

{% hint style="info" %}
Additional charges are applied at the purchase order level. They do not affect the unit cost of individual products but are recorded as separate expenses.
{% endhint %}
