Field help (POHCPRAMT)

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.

The management of this field depends on the method used to determine the landed costs and on the entry transaction used. When it can be entered, this value, which must be a positive value, is expressed in the company currency.

It is initialized with the fixed cost per unit entered for the storage site of the product-supplier in the Landed costs - Site function.

If no record exists for the storage site of the product-supplier, the fixed cost per unit displayed on the Product-supplier record is used. If the fixed cost per unit is not registered on this record, the value 0 is applied.
If the product-supplier does not exist, the fixed cost per unit entered on the Purchase section of the Product record is considered instead.

In order to display the calculated landed cost amount, click Line cost from the Actions icon (this amount is displayed on the Cost detail tab - Undetailed costs table).
