Attaché Accounts: Allocating Landed Costs to Product lines on an Invoice

How landed costs are spread across product lines on an invoice, and how to choose the right allocation method for your needs.

Landed Costs are allocated across product lines based on the spread method you select. The method applies to all product lines in Supplier Goods Received Notes and Supplier Invoices where a Landed Cost has been entered on the document header and Landed Costs (F2) has been applied when completing the document.

📌Note: The method you choose (Value, Quantity or Dimensions) will apply to all product lines in Supplier Goods Received Notes and Supplier Invoices where a Landed Cost has been entered on the document header and Landed Costs (F2) has been applied when completing the document.

If required, you can change the method to apply to individual invoices at any time by changing the Spread Landed Costs option prior to entering a document. All lines on the document will use the method chosen to automatically allocate the on costs.

🤓Tip: To use Dimensions with landed costing you need to have set up Dimensions on the Dimensions tab in Product Options and specified the product's dimensions on the Other Options tab in Product Maintenance.
