Notes About the Procedure

The notes in this section describe the nuances of the UI elements available on the form, such as when an element is required and when it is not, and when the system fills in settings by default. This section can include other notes.

Note the following about adding landed costs to a bill:

  • You can link a landed costs line to a line with empty Inventory ID only. Once you have linked a landed cost line, the description of a bill line changes to the description of the linked landed cost.
  • Each bill line can be linked to only one landed cost line.
  • The Link Line dialog box shows the lines of released landed cost documents for which the Accounts Payable bill wasn't created on release.
  • If the amount in the bill line differs from the amount in the landed cost line that you linked, the occurred difference is posted to the Landed Cost Variance account. For details, see Adjusting the Landed Cost Variance.
