Landed cost on Purchase orders

Hi,

I've seen many tutorials about the landed cost, but it doesn't do what I expect from this function.

When a PO is created, I'd like to add a separate line for the landed cost, so far NAV does it. When you receive the goods, an accrual should be recorded in the books until you receive the carrier bill. Once you receive the carrier bill, you create a Purchase Invoice and you recall the initial line with the landed cost. At this step, the accrual should be reversed and the actual cost should be recorded. You should be able in the Purchase Invoice screen to compare the expected vs actual cost and send it for approval if there's a discrepancy.

Is there a way to do it in NAV?

Thanks.

hello,

you can do it using the Charge Item order line type but the additional item costs will be considered only as Item actual costs. that means that will be added after posting the invoice. the Charge Item costs are not considered as Expected cost.

As work arounfd in the standard environment you can apply a percentage to the Item unit cost that could correspond to the unit amount of the additional costs and receive the order.

When the Purchase invoice have to be posted the Item Direct Unit Cost wll be changed to the real amount and will be added a charge Item Line which amount will be assigned to the invoiced Items.

E.g,

Item 70000 - Direct Unit cost is 100.Te additional costs correspond to 10% of the unit cost.
