This chapter covers the following topics:
Before you can use the Oracle Landed Cost Management application you must set up the application. A part of the Oracle Landed Cost Management setup occurs in other Oracle E-Business applications and then some of the setup is performed within the Oracle Landed Cost Management application itself.
Since Oracle Landed Cost Management integrates with several Oracle E-Business applications these applications need to be implemented and set up as well before you can successfully use the Oracle Landed Cost Management application. The other Oracle E-Business applications that need to be set up are:
Oracle Inventory
Oracle Purchasing
Oracle Payables (required for actual landed cost calculation)
(Conditionally Optional) Oracle Cost Management
(Conditionally Optional) Oracle Process Manufacturing
The use of Oracle Landed Cost Management is optional for Oracle Discrete and Process manufacturing implementations.
(Conditionally Optional) Oracle Projects
(Conditionally Optional) Oracle Project Manufacturing
Plus, Oracle Landed Cost Management can integrate with Oracle Advanced Pricing but it is not required. Oracle recommends that you integrate with Oracle Advanced Pricing so automatic charge calculation occurs in the processing of landed costs. Oracle Landed Cost Management also provides a hook (an object that can be modified by you) to enable you to load charges from external charge providers in the case where you are using another charge defaulting rule besides Oracle Advanced Pricing. Otherwise, you have to enter all of the charge lines manually.
For information on customizing Oracle Landed Cost Management hooks, see Note ID: 1211843.1 How to proceed for customizing LCM Hooks INLPCUSB.pls in My Oracle Support.
Follow this high-level process flow to set up Oracle Landed Cost Management:
Implement and set up all the other Oracle E-Business applications that are integrating with Landed Cost Management:
Inventory
Using Oracle Landed Cost Management (LCM) you can optionally restrict the purchase order shipments to be integrated with LCM based on item categories. Otherwise, landed cost is calculated for all eligible items of an LCM enabled organization. Setting up item category sets for use by LCM is optional.
For more information on defining item category sets, see the Item Setup and Control chapter in the Oracle Inventory User's Guide.
To use item category sets in LCM, set up the site level system profile option (INL: Item Category Set) with the name of the category set for which landed cost is calculated.

To use Oracle Landed Cost Management you must specify the country for the address on the locations that are used by Oracle Landed Cost Management. Use the Location window to maintain locations and location details.
Oracle Landed Cost Management compares the country of the third party sites (suppliers) with the country of the Inventory location to determine whether the supplier is domestic or foreign. Then the Third Party Sites Allowed field in the Shipment Types page in Oracle Landed Cost Management determines what sort of suppliers can be used for the Oracle Landed Cost Management shipment. Options for the Third Party Sites Allowed field are: Domestic, Foreign, or Both (Domestic and Foreign).
For more information on defining locations, see the Setting Up chapter in the Oracle Inventory User's Guide.
Use this procedure to set up location options:
Navigate to the Location window.

To use Oracle Landed Cost Management you must setup several receiving options. Using the receiving options you specify whether Oracle Landed Cost Management is used as a pre-receiving application and you also specify the accounts that are used pertaining to Oracle Landed Cost Management in the accrual accounting process. Use the Receiving Options page in Oracle Purchasing to define this information.
For more information on setting up receiving options, see the Setting Up chapter in the Oracle Purchasing User's Guide.
Use the procedure to set up receiving options:
Navigate to the Receiving Options page.
The Receiving Options page appears.
Select an Inventory organization from the list of values in the Inventory Organization field.
Click Go.

The Receiving Options page appears, displaying the receiving options that pertain to the Inventory organization you selected.
(Optional) Select the Pre-Receiving in LCM check box in the LCM Accounts region to indicate that you want the organization to operate with Landed Cost as a pre-receiving application.
Select this check box if you need to review or collect landed cost information before receiving activities occur. In the pre-receiving mode (Landed Cost as a pre-receiving application), the received quantity is equal to the landed cost shipment quantity and cannot be updated.
If not selected, Oracle Landed Cost Management operates as a calculation service (Landed Cost as a Service) without any need for user intervention. In this case, the Oracle Landed Cost Management process starts in the Receiving windows but all the integration and calculation for landed costs is performed as a calculation service using API's and concurrent programs. The create button on the Shipments Workbench is not available.
Select an account from the list of values in the Landed Cost Absorption Account field. This account is used during the receiving accrual accounting process.
Select an account from the list of values in the Invoice Price Variance Account field. This account is used during the receiving accrual accounting process.

Per-Unit
Per-Unit appears by default for the pricing basis.
Enter the description for the cost factor in the Description field.
In the Cost Management region, select the Allocation Basis for the cost factor. Options are:
Quantity
Value
Volume
Weight
Oracle Landed Cost Management supports all of these basisses for allocation. The allocation basis is used to prorate the charge amounts to the items on the landed cost management shipment.
Note: If the Allocation Basis is blank, Oracle Landed Cost Management defaults the allocation basis to Value.
In the Billing region, select the Invoice Line Type.
In the Landed Cost Management region, select the Refundable check box if the cost factor is refundable.
Landed Cost Management references the Refundable check box associated to a cost factor to control the landed cost calculation behavior for the charge line amount during return to suppliers or receiving corrections of items associated with the landed cost shipment. Landed cost calculations use cost factors.
For more information on the use of refundable versus nonrefundable cost factors, see Understanding Refundable Versus Nonrefundable Cost Factors and Recalculating Estimated Landed Cost After Return to Supplier and Correction Transactions.
