Summarize Landed Cost Data
Use the Summarize Landed Cost Data scheduled process for multidimensional analysis of landed cost data. This enables the visualization of landed cost charges in a graphical format at the business unit level.
When to Use
When you acquire materials through purchase orders and record additional landed costs related to the purchased materials, such as freight, insurance, brokerage, and taxes, the Summarize Landed Cost Data process automates the processing of the landed cost data. This process facilitates the tracking of landed costs and enables the extraction of valuable insights and actionable information.
To ensure the effectiveness of this process, it is recommended to schedule it at least once a day if you make use of landed costs.
