The inventory cost per unit is the sum of the acquisition and non-acquisition costs.  Non-acquisition costs may be defined for the part to reflect add-on charges, such as freight and material handling.  Multiple types of non-acquisition costs may be defined for each part resulting in multiple expense entries for the receiving warehouse.  Transfer price variance in the receiving warehouse is calculated against acquisition costs only.
