As we have explained the landed cost calculation in our Landed Cost Calculation Methods Article. Which will explain the concept of calculating the Landed cost and which will increase the price of the product. With landed cost we are again calculating the Average cost and update the cost in the system.

Purchase Invoices

From Purchase Invoice view Transaction popup you can see a new action button on the top, Landed Cost. Once you click, it will open another popup with invoice line items along with details of Landed cost entries and Its Respective date and GL account.  As of now, we are not giving multiple landed cost for an invoice. So consider add them at once. If you have not received other expenses, Kindly draft the Landed cost until you get the cost of the other types such as Shipping, Insurance and Processing. 

Once you process the Landed cost, the additional cost will be calculated and also the average cost of the item will be updated again. So the cost of the item such as Standard cost will be updated based on the landed cost that we have brought in now. 

You can edit or Void a landed cost which we already created in it. The Update of landed cost will help you get the landed cost shared and updated to the items again. 

From the landed cost, some items may not cover with other expenses, So you can skip them by not checking it.   On your landed cost screen, you can see the total landed cost and new price for each quantity. 

There are two types of calculation in it.   
  • Quantity Based Calculation
  • Amount Based Calculation
These two are works as per the quantity specified of the amount of the items and get the ratio to be applied. Which we already explained in our blog article hope you have gone through it. By default the system starts with Quantity Based calculation. 

Home Currency

Yes, the All types of costs such as Shipping, Insurance, Customs, Processing, and Other charges All needs to be applied in home currency. Basically these values differs from the currency and country involved. So within the system working with multiple currency goes too many configurations, So the home currency will simplify the process of input and calculate the new cost from it.  

Even the supplier invoice item prices are all converted to home currency and uses in the calculation. 

Exclude Items from Landed cost 

Suppose, if you wish to exclude certain items from the Landed cost, or you can skip the items which was not covered with the landed cost, by unchecking it. Example bonus items, or gifted items, or complimentary items are not necessary to include in the Landed cost.
