Landed costs – freight orders
This topic explains how landed costs are used in combination with freight orders that originate from a purchase order or warehouse transfer order.
If a freight order must be generated for a purchase order or warehouse transfer order, landed freight costs can be retrieved for the orders.
Calculation of the landed freight costs includes these main steps:
- Rough estimated landed costs are defaulted during order line entry based on carrier rate books.
- Landed costs are updated with detailed estimated freight costs after actualizing the load plan.
- Landed costs are updated with detailed actual freight costs after processing the carrier invoice.
Note:
- When a freight order line is generated for the originating order line, Freight becomes leading in determining the landed freight costs. Consequently, the landed freight costs are updated from the freight order line.
- If landed cost lines exist for receipt lines, the landed freight costs are updated for both the originating order lines and the linked receipt lines. If multiple receipt lines exist for an originating order line, the landed (freight) cost amount is apportioned to the linked receipt lines.
