Landed Cost Processes

Use the Manage Landed Cost scheduled process to interface data from purchasing and payables system to landed cost management, auto-associate invoices, and allocate landed cost charges to associated purchase orders and transfer orders.

The Manage Landed Cost scheduled process includes the four processes described in this table.

Process	Description
Prepare Material Purchase Order Data	This process updates the list of approved purchase orders that can be selected for landed costs. The process is used to interface material purchase orders from the purchasing system to landed cost management.
Prepare Invoice Data	This process updates the list of invoices that can be selected for landed costs. The process imports only the landed cost-enabled invoices. The process is used to interface invoices from the payables system to landed cost management. You should schedule the Prepare Material Purchase Order Data and Prepare Invoice Data processes to run regularly so that data is readily available for landed cost processing.
Associate Invoices to Trade Operation Charges	This process is used to automatically associate invoices to landed cost charges that are incurred during the receipt of goods, based on the match criteria.
Allocate Landed Cost Charges	This process allocates the charges to the appropriate purchase order schedules and shipments.

On the Landed Cost Run Control page, you can create run controls to group and schedule these processes as required. You can also define the parameters to be executed for the processes. You can drill down to any past landed cost process to view its run status and the parameters used during execution. This helps in reviewing prior configurations, validating results, and troubleshooting issues when needed.
