Landed Costs

Form ID: (PO303000)

Note: This form is available only if the Inventory feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

On this form, you can create landed cost documents, which are used in your system for processing the additional costs incurred for the delivery of purchased goods to your company warehouses or to customer locations if the goods are drop-shipped. For more information, see Processing Landed Cost Documents.

You can edit landed cost documents until they are released. The default status of a newly created document is determined by the Hold Landed Costs on Entry option on the Purchase Orders Preferences (PO101000) form.

Element	Description
Type	The type of the document to be created, which at this time is always Landed Cost.
Reference Nbr.	The number that identifies the landed cost document in the system. This number is generated by the system according to the numbering sequence assigned to documents of this type, which is specified on the Purchase Orders Preferences (PO101000) form.
Status	A read-only box that shows the status of the document, which is one of the following: On Hold: The document is a draft that can be edited but cannot be released. This is the default status for new documents if the Hold Landed Costs on Entry check box is selected on the Purchase Orders Preferences (PO101000) form. Balanced: Indicates that the document has been taken off hold and is ready to be released. Released: Indicates that the landed cost document has been released.
Date	The date of the original landed cost document; by default, the current business date is inserted, but you can change it. This date is also used in the inventory adjustment generated on release of the landed cost document. You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.
Post Period	The period to which the document should be posted; by default, it is the period to which the Date belongs, but the default period can be changed. The post period is also used in the inventory adjustment generated on release of the landed cost document.
Vendor	The landed cost vendor to which the landed cost amount is to be paid. In this box, you can select from only the landed cost vendors (that is those, that have the Landed Cost Vendor check box selected on the Vendors (AP303000) form). The list of vendors may be restricted based on the branch specified for the document. You can select a vendor whose settings permit the use of the branch selected in this document—that is, a vendor for which the Restrict Visibility To box on the Financial tab of the Vendors (AP303000) form is empty or contains the branch specified in this document (or the company or company group that contains the branch specified in this document).

Currency	The currency to be used for billing.

Vendor Ref.	The document's original reference number as assigned by the vendor (which can be entered for informational purposes; no product functionality is tied to it). This value is required if the Require Vendor Reference check box is selected on the Accounts Payable Preferences (AP101000) form. This reference number should be unique if the Raise an Error On Duplicate Vendor Reference Number check box is selected on the same form.
Total Allocated Amount	Total landed cost amount allocated in the document lines added on the Details tab.
Amount Total	Total landed cost amount in all landed cost lines added on the Landed Costs tab.
VAT Taxable Total	The document total that is subject to VAT. The VAT taxable amount will be displayed in this box only if the Include in VAT Taxable Total check box is selected for the applicable tax or taxes on the Taxes (TX205000) form. If the check box is cleared, this box will be empty. This box appears only if the VAT Reporting feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
