Field help (KCPRCOE)

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 a conversion factor to be included in the calculation of the purchase cost and stock cost. This value must be greater than 1.

For any new supplier, the default value for this field is the landed cost conversion factor from the Purchasing section.

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.

When the PIHCPR - Invoice price adjustment parameter (ACH chapter, INV group) is set to With landed costs, the configuration is not compliant with an Anglo-Saxon accounting. The Goods Received Not Invoiced (RNI) account will not be balanced. This is a limitation of the system.

Since the different landed costs and especially the routing costs can vary according to the storage site, it is possible to enter, for each product-supplier, different landed costs for each storage site. You can enter these values directly in the Suppliers section in the Products-sites function (GESITF). You can also enter these values via the Landed costs-supplier-site icon or using the Landed costs-site function (GESSTCITF).
