Field help (STCNUMITG)

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 cost structure used in the calculation of the cost price. The entry can be performed manually. From the Actions icon, you can also click Selection or Cost structure (access to the Cost structure function).
The cost structure saved on the Product record at supply cost level defaults to the value of this field.

Only one method can be selected to calculate the landed costs: if a landed cost coefficient or a fixed cost per unit are entered, entering a cost structure triggers their reinitialization, after validation of a warning message.

If a cost structure whose unit is not consistent with the units of the product category is entered, a blocking message listing the different inconsistencies is displayed.
The purchase unit of the cost structure must be the same as either the purchase unit, the stock unit, or the packing unit. If it is a weight or volume unit, its conversion with respect to those of the product category must be defined in the Unit conversion table.
