Landed costs – purchase schedules

This topic explains how landed costs are used in combination with purchase schedules.

Note

  • For pull schedules, landed costs are linked only to Pull Call-off schedules and not to Pull Forecast schedules.
  • The Write Landed Costs for Purchase Push Schedules check box in the Landed Costs Parameters (tclct0100m000) session determines if landed costs can be linked to push schedules.

Linking landed cost lines

Because the purchase schedule header is just an informational level and stays open for a long time, landed cost lines are not linked on schedule header level, but only on line level.

When a schedule line is created and saved, LN searches for active landed costs sets in the Scenarios by Landed Costs Set (tclct1105m100) session, based on:

  • The Landed Costs Search Date, as specified in the Landed Costs Parameters (tclct0100m000) session.
  • The Used for field, which must be Schedule or Schedule and Order Line.
  • The schedule header and line (search) fields, which must match the landed costs scenario's search attributes.
  • The Priority.

When a landed costs set is found, the landed costs are stored in the Landed Cost Lines (tclct2100m000) session. This session is linked to the purchase schedule line in the Purchase Schedule Lines (tdpur3111m000) session. The Origin is Master Data for these schedule line landed cost lines. Landed cost lines are linked only to purchase schedule lines whose requirement type is Immediate or Firm

Note: 

Only these landed cost lines can be linked to a purchase schedule line:

  • The lines for which the Method field is not By Freight Management.
  • The lines for which the Fixed Amount Level field is Receipt Line or Not Applicable.

Maintaining landed cost lines

If a change is made to the Warehouse, Address, or Planned Receipt Date on the schedule line, LN will automatically search for a new landed costs set. If found, the cost lines are deleted and the new cost lines are added.

If a purchase schedule line is canceled or deleted, the linked landed costs are also canceled or deleted.

Note: You can view all landed costs that are linked to a specific purchase schedule in the Landed Cost Lines by Schedule (tclct2100m400) session. You cannot manually update the landed cost lines and add, cancel, or delete these lines.

Processing landed cost lines

If a final receipt is done for a schedule line, invoicing is required, and the line has the Invoiced status, the purchase schedule line can be processed in the Process Purchase Schedules (tdpur3223m000) session. The landed cost lines that are linked to the actual receipts for the schedule line are also processed.

For a processed landed cost line, in the Landed Cost Lines (tclct2100m000) session:

  • The Processed check box is selected and receipt history is written to the Landed Cost Line History (tclct2550m000) session.
  • The Update Status of Actual Purchase Costs field is Actual Costs Updated if the landed cost line was already matched and approved in Accounts Payable. If not, you must reprocess the purchase schedule line after finishing the matching and approval process in Accounts Payable

If, in the Landed Cost Lines (tclct2100m000) session, the Update Status of Actual Purchase Costs field is Actual Costs Updated and the Invoicing Status is All Approved, the landed cost line is completed and can be deleted in the Archive/Delete Purchase Schedules (tdpur3224m000) session.
