Configuring Roles and Permissions for Estimated Landed Cost

By default, the prebuilt custom forms and records for Estimated Landed Cost are enabled for the following standard roles:

To enable estimated landed cost for all roles:

  1. Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.

  2. On the role record, check the Enable Estimated Landed Cost box:

  3. To enable other roles to use estimated landed cost, set up the required permissions and forms:

    • On the Permissions subtab:

      Subtab

      Record

      Level

      Setup

      Set Up Company

      View

      Custom Record

      Landed Cost Template

      Custom Record

      Landed Cost Template Detail

      Full

      Custom Record

      Landed Cost Template Mapping

      Full

      Note:

      When setting up the Estimated Landed Cost permissions, consider those roles who perform tasks involving purchase orders, item receipts, and standalone vendor bills.

      Standard or custom roles based on the Buyer, A/P Clerk, and Warehouse Manager can add or edit items on these transactions. This might automatically update their landed cost estimates. To avoid errors in estimated landed cost calculations and when submitting transactions, you must update their role records. Check the Enable Estimated Landed Cost box and then assign the permissions.
