Hi Freinds ,

I'm facing difficulties with Standard process of allocating charges to Purchase order when calculating landed costs for the items.the Biggest Issue there is no Link between the charges and the Third Party Vendor invoices,

so the only option is use mischarge offset account as clearing account and record third party payments .

the Best Examples are Custom Duty and Freight .
anyone knows how to overcome this without doing customizing /with less customization ?

thanks & Regards,

Amith Prasanna

Hi Amrit,

We found no easy way of doing this. We implemented a policy where the third party Vendor's invoice has to include the reference to the PO with the misc. charge. Then have a AP journal name with the clearing account pre-set to make it less painful when processing the payment. I hear there are ISVs that do this, but have not worked with them.

Hi Amith Prasanna,

There is no standard functionality available that automatically links your third party vendor invoices (charges) to your items purchased.

The best and most commonly used approach is what you describe; that is, applying an estimated %-charge that is posted against an offset account which in then regularly compared with the actual charges to modify the %-charge again.

I have seen some ISV solutions for that but to be honest they are basically not doing much different from what you already do and I would not invest that money because the result will be pretty much the same.

The only way how you could get the allocation of your charges completely right and automized is if your third party vendor provides some additional information on their invoices (item, PO, etc.) that is then automatically scanned and imported to get it assigned and posted to the right POs through the charge adjustment functionality. Yet, I believe implementing something like this will blow out any budget and might not considerable improve your landed cost calculation.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Ludwig,

Thank you for the information & the explanation was given.Actually customer currently using Microsoft Dynamics NAV as I saw the allocation of charges for the Order Receipt , Transfer Receipt, is pretty much simpler than AX.

thanks & Regards,

Hello Amith Prasanna,

I would like to ask you two favors:

1) Please provide MS a feedback on the NAV functionality so that they can build something similar for AX. It is actually quite easy, just post a comment on http://connect.microsoft.com/

2) If there is nothing else open then it would be great if you could verify the answer(s).

Many thanks for helping the community and best regards,

Ludwig
