Work with landed costs (DIR65801)

This panel displays the landed costs that have been entered for the shipment and/or order lines.

This panel can be accessed via the Work with inbound shipments, Lines panel or via the Work with purchase orders, Order lines panel.

Landed costs are those cost, such as freight, duty, insurance and handling costs, that are over and above the price paid to a supplier for the goods. The cost is incurred by the buyer during the transportation of goods from the seller to the buyer.

The terms of delivery code on the purchase order header controls whether landed cost information should be defined for the purchase order or not.

When goods are received landed costs can be added, changed or deleted. Two types of costs can be entered:

  • distributed costs
  • discrete costs

Distributed costs are costs distributed across all received lines. Discrete costs are costs defined for each individual purchase order line.

Discrete costs can be automatically calculated at the time of the order line being entered. The terms of delivery code on the purchase order header controls whether the costs should be calculated at order entry or when the goods are received. The information in the Landed cost type table is used to automatically calculate the cost. Irrespective of when the cost should be calculated, it can be changed on this panel.

Distributed costs have to be entered manually on this panel. Note: Distributed costs can only be entered if the order line is included in a shipment.

Depending upon how this program was accessed (i.e. via which program) different maintenance options are available. Depending on the circumstances:

  • only distributed costs can be maintained,

    or

  • only discrete costs can be maintained,

    or

  • both distributed and discrete costs can be maintained.

If you are working with distributed costs, click Allocate costs to allocate the costs across all lines. Note: If you add or change lines on shipment, you may need to re-allocate the distributed costs. This is also done by clicking this function key.
