16Hi D365 experts,
I'm working with a client implementing Landed Cost functionality in Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain, and I’m looking for guidance on configuring the Auto Cost model to support the following two scenarios:
Scenario 1 – CBM-Based Freight Charges (Per Item Line):
The freight cost is calculated based on the volume (CBM) of the item, multiplied by a freight rate and quantity.
Example:
-
Item A has a volume of 0.14 CBM (based on width, height, and depth) defined in the product master data.
-
The freight rate is $10 per CBM.
-
Quantity ordered: 300 units.
-
Estimated freight = 0.14 × $10 × 300 = $420.
Question:
How can we configure the Auto Cost calculation in Landed Cost so that this logic is applied automatically during PO generation or voyage cost estimation?
Scenario 2 – Variable Freight Rate Based on Container Type:
In some cases, freight charges are dependent on the container size selected for the voyage.
Example:
-
If a 40’ FCL container is used → the rate is $10 per CBM.
-
If a 20’ FCL container is used → the rate drops to $7 per CBM.
-
The client wants to model different freight rates depending on the container selected for the voyage.
Question:
How can we structure the Auto Cost Template or Container Setup so that the system picks the correct rate per CBM based on the container used in the voyage?
Is this supported out-of-the-box, or would this require an extension?
Thank you in advance for the help.
