Landed costs - price stages
Price stages can be specified for the landed cost lines that are linked to a purchase order line. If the Price Stage Mandatory check box is selected in the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session, the price stage is mandatory for these landed cost lines.
In the Price Stage field of the Landed Costs Revisions (tclct1120m000) session, you can specify a price stage for a landed cost revision. When a landed cost line is created for a purchase order line, the price stage is defaulted from the relevant landed cost revision to the Landed Cost Lines (tclct2100m000) session. You can manually link a price stage to a landed cost line in the Landed Cost Lines (tclct2100m000) session, if a default price stage is not specified in the Landed Costs Revisions (tclct1120m000) session.
The Price Stage that is specified for a landed cost line, cannot be modified after the landed cost line is matched and approved in Accounts Payable. Also, you cannot update a landed cost line if a receipt or advance shipment notice is linked to the purchase order line.
If a blocking definition is specified for the Price Stage that is linked to the landed cost line, the purchase order line is blocked based on the phase for which the blocking is specified. If multiple landed cost lines exist for the purchase order line and different price stages and blocking phases are specified, the most restrictive blocking phase is considered and blocking is applied accordingly.
Example
- The blocking phase for the price stage of the purchase order line is set to Release.
- The blocking phase for the price stage of the linked landed cost line is set to Order Entry.
Consequently, the purchase order line is blocked at order entry.
