This value is defaulted from the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session only if the Use Global Purchase Order Parameters check box is selected.

Miscellaneous

Method of Calculating Average Purchase Price

The method to calculate the average purchase price.

Note:

If this parameter is set to Purchases (Cum.), use the Equate Balance of Receipts with Inventory Level (tdipu0201m000) session to equate the cumulative receipts with the inventory on hand. The real time average prices for items can be calculated only if this session is run on a timely basis.
This value is defaulted from the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session only if the Use Global Purchase Order Parameters check box is selected.

Allowed values

Purchases (Cum.)

The average purchase price is based on the following:

The price of a new receipt.
The average price of the cumulated purchases up to the time of the new receipt.

      
APN = ((PR * QR) + (APO * CRO)) ÷  (QR + CRO)

Current Inventory

The average purchase price is based on the following:

The price of a new receipt.
The average price of the current inventory.

      
APN = ((PR * QR) + (APO * ILO)) ÷ (QR + ILO)

APN - Average purchase price (new)
APO - Average purchase price (old)
PR - Price of the new receipt
QR - Quantity of the new receipt
CRO - Cumulative receipt quantity (old)
ILO - Inventory level (old)

Old (current) inventory considers the existing inventory on hand minus the not yet matched and approved receipts. Consequently, the average purchase price is based on financially matched and approved purchase orders.

If the method is set to Current Inventory and the result of the APN calculation is negative, the average purchase price receives the same value as the latest purchase price.

Confirm Receipt as Final

If this check box is selected, each purchase order line receipt is considered as a final receipt. Consequently, for each purchase order line receipt, the Final Receipt check box is automatically set in the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session.

Note:

In this way, when confirming receipts, you need not check the received items and manually select the Final Receipt check box. This will speed up the receipt procedure, which can be important if large numbers of receipt transactions are involved. In addition, back orders are always created, because you cannot forget to select the Final Receipt check box.
If this check box is cleared, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected only if the received quantity is greater than or equal to the ordered quantity for the purchase order line. If the Final Receipt is cleared, but a final receipt is applicable, you must manually select the Final Receipt check box in the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session.
You can undo the automatic selection of the Final Receipt check box for an individual receipt to correct the receipt in the Correct Purchase Receipt (tdpur4106s100) session.
This value is defaulted from the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session only if the Use Global Purchase Order Parameters check box is selected.

Use Global Landed Cost Parameters

If this check box is selected, the parameter settings specified in the Landed Costs Parameters (tclct0100m000) session are used. If this check box is cleared, you can set the landed cost parameters specific to the site.

Landed Cost

Method of Calculating Average Landed Cost

The method to calculate the average landed cost.

Note:

To calculate an item's standard cost, the average landed cost can be added to the average purchase price.
If this parameter is set to Cumulative Purchases, use the Equate Balance of Receipts with Inventory Level (tdipu0201m000) session to equate the cumulative receipts with the inventory on hand. The realistic average prices for items can be calculated only if this session is run on a timely basis.
You can view average landed costs by item in the Item Actual Landed Costs (tclct3600m000) session.

Allowed values

Cumulative Purchases

The average landed cost is based on the following:

The price of a new receipt.
The average price of the cumulated purchases up to the time of the new receipt.

      
APN = ((PR * QR) + (APO * CRO)) ÷  (QR + CRO)

Current Inventory

The average landed cos is based on the following:

The price of a new receipt.
The average price of the current inventory level.

      
APN = ((PR * QR) + (APO * ILO)) ÷ (QR + ILO)

APN - Average landed cost (new)
APO - Average landed cost (old)
PR - Price of the new receipt
QR - Quantity of the new receipt
CRO - Cumulative receipt quantity (old)
ILO - Inventory level (old)

Old (current) inventory considers the existing inventory on hand minus the not yet matched and approved receipts. Consequently, the average cost is based on financially matched and approved purchases.

If the method is set to Current Inventory and the APN calculation outcome is negative, the average landed cost is equal to the latest landed cost.

Example

Method of Calculating Average Landed Cost: Cumulative Purchases

Current values for item K:


Cumulative purchase receipts	20 pcs
Average landed cost for cost component A	5 euro
Average landed cost for cost component B	4 euro
Total average landed cost	9 euro

New receipt for item K, all landed costs are invoiced.


Received quantity	2 pcs
Landed cost line for cost component A	7 euro
Landed cost line for cost component C	3 euro

New average landed cost:

Cost component A
(2 x 7) + (20 x 5) / (20 + 2) = 5.18 euro
Cost component B
(2 x 0) + (20 x 4) / (20 + 2) = 3.64 euro
Cost component C
(2 x 3) + (20 x 0) / (20 + 2) = 0.27

New values for item K:


Cumulative purchase receipts	22 pcs
Total average landed cost	9.09 euro
