Hi mirzaishfaq,

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! I can see how incorporating additional costs into the inventory items can be useful for you in keeping track of expenses more accurately. I'm happy to let you know that this can be achieved by subscribing to the Advanced Inventory feature for QuickBooks Enterprise. I can help explain how to set this up.

Advance Inventory in QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows you to set up items such as landed costs to increase the costs of goods of a given item. Here's how to enable this feature:

From the Edit menu, select Preferences.
On the left pane, choose Items & Inventory then go to the Company Preferences tab.
Check the Inventory and Purchase Orders are Active box.
Select the Advanced Inventory Settings button. If the button is greyed out even though you have purchased the feature, you will need to sync license data online so that QuickBooks recognizes it.

You can find more information about Advanced Inventory from the following articles: Turn on Advanced Inventory and Set up Advanced Inventory. Once this is enabled, you can set up landed costs to increase the cost of inventory items. This option can be found within the the Advanced Inventory Settings:

From the Edit menu, navigate to Preferences.
Find Items and Inventory, then click Company Preferences.
Select Advanced Inventory Settings.
Click the Landed costs tab, then Setup landed cost account.

You can also find articles that may be useful to your situation in product on price levels and markup.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist with!
