Field help (ITMCPRCOE)

The management of landed costs makes it possible to quantify the routing costs of the goods ordered from a supplier and to allocate them to the products upon order, receipt or invoice. These costs are used for the calculation of the purchase cost and stock cost.
The evaluation of these costs can be performed according to one of the two following methods:

• global method in which a Landed cost coefficient is applied and/or a Fixed cost per unit is taken into account,
• method in which a set of costs detailed in a cost structure is taken into account.

Only one method can be used, the choice of this method is performed at the level of the product management.

Use this field to enter the conversion factor to be included in the calculation of the purchase cost and stock cost.
For any new product, this field defaults to the landed cost conversion factor recorded for the assigned product Category. It can be modified. The value entered must be greater than 1.

When adding a new supplier, the entered value is used to load, by default, the landed cost conversion factor for the product-supplier record.
If no conversion factor is defined for the supplier, enter the value 1.

Only one method can be selected to calculate the landed costs. If a cost structure is entered, entering a landed cost conversion factor and/or a fixed cost per unit triggers the erasing of the cost structure, after validation of a warning message.
