FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I invoice the customer for freight charges?
Invoicing transport costs requires a structured approach. Transport costs must appear separately on your invoices in account 708500 for better accounting traceability.
For optimum management, adopt an invoicing system that details each component: fuel, labor, tolls. This transparency builds customer confidence and makes it easier to monitor your profitability.
Specialized transport accounting software greatly simplifies this task. It automates the calculation of costs according to your parameters: distance traveled, type of goods, delivery times.
Remember to inform your customers of your pricing policy in advance. For example, offer flat rates by geographic zone, or sliding-scale rates according to the volume transported.
How do you keep accounts for a transport company?
The success of a transport company depends on rigorous and appropriate accounting. An analytical dashboard tracks key indicators: fuel consumption, maintenance costs and profitability per vehicle.
The use of a specialized transport ERP simplifies the monitoring of operations by centralizing essential data: supplier invoices, driver expense reports and customs documents.
To optimize your management, methodically classify your receipts by category: maintenance, insurance, tolls. For example, create monthly files for each vehicle with its associated documents.
Weekly bank reconciliations give you a precise overview of your cash position, and make it easier to detect any anomalies quickly.
Which account to use for transport?
Accounting for transport operations requires mastery of specific PCG accounts. Account 624 centralizes transactions linked to the transport of goods, with its subdivisions: 6241 for transport on purchases and 6242 for transport on sales.
Carriers must also use account 2182 to record their rolling stock. For example, the purchase of a delivery truck is debited from this account, with depreciation calculated over its useful life.
Incidental expenses such as fuel are recorded under 6066, while vehicle maintenance is recorded under 6155. This accounting structure enables detailed monitoring of costs by type of expense.
