Using Landed Costs with the Cash Impact Report

Landed cost records are accessed to determine the outstanding, unvouchered, landed cost amounts. The landed costs are not quantity-based; therefore, it is not possible to simply multiply the costs by the difference between the quantities ordered and vouchered.

The Cash Import Report finds all landed cost PO receipt records for the PO line record, and subtracts the vouchered amount from the total estimated cost for the landed cost on the PO line.

When no landed cost PO receipts exist for a PO line (because, for example, no receipts have been posted against the line), the full estimated cost is still payable.

Also, landed cost PO receipt records with a vouchered amount of zero may exist (that is, the line was received but not vouchered). In such cases, the full estimated cost is also still payable.

The calculation for the material portion uses the PO line material cost, multiplying it by the difference of the quantity ordered minus the quantity vouchered.

At the point of vouchering, the landed cost estimate amount will reduce the cash outflow commitment from the PO, and show separately as an A/P transaction under the voucher number that is created.
