Landed cost enquiry (DIR65901)

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

Landed costs are those cost, such as freight, duty, insurance and handling costs, which 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 in the Work with landed cost program.

Distributed costs have to be entered manually in the Work with landed cost program.

Depending on from which program this program was accessed, different options are displayed meaning:

  • distributed costs can be displayed,
    or
  • discrete costs can be displayed,
    or
  • both distributed and discrete costs can be displayed
