Issuing a PO for a Landed Cost ID

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Rusty Canada 55

We are fairly new to Landed Cost in Dynamics GP.  We are attempting to include a Landed Cost Group to an item we keep in inventory.

There are 3 Landed Cost ID's associated with this particular Landed Cost Group:

·     Two Freight charges

·     one service charge

We need to submit a PO for the Service Charge. 

I would like to know how to issue a PO for the Service Charge Landed Cost ID so when we receive the Service Charge Invoice we can match it in the Match/Invoices Entry transaction.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Rusty,

    Landed costs are kind of fun and different.  There have been several suggestions here but not the answer to your question.  We cover landed costs in our Inventory Management Techniqes book and in our Understanding Purchase Order Processing.  It is a bit much to handle here but I was looking for something to post on our web in our Read-A-Page section.  I will pull the several pages on Landed Costs, which includes how to link the costs to a PO and how to receive them, and have them on our web site for your review.  Check in the Learning Tools section under Read a Page

    I'm sure you've thought of this before but why not have Vendor B buy the raw material from Vendor A?  Vendor B gets to increase their revenue (their price to you is higher because it includes the raw material) and it simplifies your procurement process.

    Hi Rusty,

    we can ceeate the PO with landed cost. In the PO entry.

    1.Open the Line detail entry in po screen.

    2.you can directly assign the Landed cost Id to that Item.

    3.during the invoice match you can directly asign the PO.

    I hope ithat t will help you.

    Thanks

    Dear Siva,

    Thank you for getting back to me on this, but unfortunately this wasn't what I was looking for...

    Let me describe the situation a little clearer.

    We have an item we sell that is a "sub-assembly" item.  Until now we have calculated the cost manually outside GP, and have not tracked the item in history.

    I would like to change that!

    Here are the chain of events:

    1. We purchase the raw product from Vendor A and have them send it to Vendor B (Site B)

            Site be could be considered an in-transit site for the product.

    2. Vendor B converts the raw material into the finished product, and sends the finished items to our warehouse. (Site C)

    Vendor B requires a Purchase Order for the service they provide for us.  We consider Vendor B's service a "Landed Cost" and Vendor A as the primary vendor for the product.

    PO-A (to Vendor A) is designated to Site B (Vendor B), and PO-B (to Vendor B) is designated to site C (our Warehouse).

    I have the work flow with Freight and Service charges from Vendor B working great in the system in testing, but to satisfy the Vendors needs, I must create a PO for their service, and Void the PO after we submit it.  

    Please let me know if you have a solution for this PO issue.

    Thank you in advance,

    Rusty

    Hi Rusty

    The invoice for a landed cost will be raised from the Purchasing Invoice window (similar to a normal invoice that you create).

    But at the line item level, you need to mark the LC checkbox (which indicates that the item you are entering is a landed cost).

    When u check this option at the line item, the item number lookup will show the landed costs setup in the system. When this option is unchecked, it will show the item number (or) vendor item number (depending on the setup).

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
