Shipment Entry
Use this form to create shipments based on documentation that you receive
from the supplier or shipping company about the purchase orders and items
in the shipment, and the costs of the import.
You can create shipments to:
- Consolidate expected receipts into a single shipment/reference,
if multiple purchase orders is received at the same time.
You can generate receipt transactions from the Shipment Entry form.
- Calculate a shipment landed cost, which you can apportion across
items in the shipment and updated to the item's last (and average)
cost. The item's true cost
is captured, and the inventory value of imported items reflects this.
Landed costs may incorporate additional charges such as freight or
insurance, overheads (for example, administrative costs), and duty.
