Setting up an Item Record for Landed Cost
For each item that you want to track landed costs, you must identify it on the item record. After you mark an item record to Track Landed Cost, you can enter landed cost information on item receipts and bills that include the item.
If you do not mark an item for landed cost, it is not considered when calculating landed cost. No values are allocated to it on the item receipt or vendor bill.
To set up an item record for landed cost:
-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Items.
-
Click Edit next to the item for which you want to track landed cost.
You can track landed cost for inventory and assembly items, including serialized and lot numbered items.
-
On the Purchasing/Inventory subtab, check the Track Landed Cost box.
Note:You must include an item that tracks landed costs on transactions you want to source for landed costs.
The Landed Costs subtab of item receipts shows a vendor bill in the source transaction list if the bill includes a landed cost item.
-
Click Save.
