Landed cost entry as a standalone process

Standalone entry of landed cost can be done as per business requirement - that is, if the procurement department receives the shipment charges, agency fees, broker fees, custom charges, and many other expenses that are related to procurement late, and the item has already been received in the system through receipt processing, or the company is using receipt routing during item receipt. The Standalone Landed Cost process is a recommended feature in such cases.

Getting ready

You should enter landed costs in the following applications in order to activate the Standalone Landed Cost process:

  • Landed costs definition in Landed Cost Revisions
  • Assign landed cost rules to items or purchase orders
  • Verify in the processing options of Stand-Alone Landed Cost program that you enter the landed costs

How to do it...

  1. Access the Stand-Alone Landed Cost program from the G43A15 menu.
    How to do it...
  2. Select the Purchase Order to which you want to apply the landed cost.
  3. Select the PO line from the detail grid, and then from the Row menu click on Apply Landed Cost.
  4. The next screen will show the landed cost component; you should click OK to confirm the Landed Cost Rule.
  5. After clicking OK, the general entries will be created automatically and the item cost will be updated.

How it works....

The landed costs can be entered as a stand-alone process if the landed cost information is not available at the time of receipt. Standalone landed costs are only applied to items for which you record receipt information. When you enter landed costs, the system will only allow you to work with the landed costs that have been set up and assigned to the item. When you receive each item you can review, change, and enter the landed costs for the item. Once the landed costs have been applied, the system may create a separate landed cost detail line voucher. The additional voucher will depend on how you set up each landed cost. The landed cost can be reviewed via the detail lines on the Voucher Match form.

Note

Tolerance rules can be set up during purchase receipt, match voucher, blanket release, and acknowledgment tolerance. Tolerance setup can be based on a percentage or a unit cost or extended cost, in the Purchasing Tolerance Rules (P4322) program.

There's more...

After entering the landed costs, you can also run the Copy Cost Components (R41891) batch application, which copies simulated or frozen cost information from the F30026 table to the F41291 table.
