Freight and duty are added to the cost after the goods arrive
Who is involved
| Role | What they do |
|---|---|
| Warehouse user | Receives the shipment against the purchase order. |
| Inventory manager | Drafts the landed cost from the freight and customs papers. |
| Accountant | Posts it so the cost and the ledger are updated. |
Step by step
- Warehouse user
Receives the shipment against the purchase order.
What they see:The order shows Received and the goods are on the shelf at the supplier's price.
- Inventory manager
Presses Landed cost on the order, enters the freight amount and a description such as Sea freight, and chooses how to spread it.
What they see:A draft landed cost with its own number, not yet affecting the cost.
- Accountant
Checks the amount against the freight invoice and presses Post.
What they see:The landed cost shows Posted and the received goods' unit cost is higher by their share.
- Accountant
Opens the stock journal.
What they see:A balanced entry for the landed cost, booked by the posting rule.
Who is told what
No message is sent; the landed cost list on the order shows Draft or Posted, and a draft stays there until someone with the post permission acts.
