Hey

Please correct me if I'm doing this wrong.

1- Goods purchased from Goods vendor (G) and delivered through a freight vendor (F).

2- While posting bill for G, line item for landed cost (to be paid to F) is added in said bill. 

3- When posting G's bill how should the landed cost be billed to F (instead of G) as the entire cost (after landed cost revaluation) is posted to G's bill?

4- As apparent the landed cost is not payable by G, so how to hit this cost to goods exactly considering above situation?


Thanks

Hi,

Landed Cost Allocation: You must apply the landed cost to the products you received when submitting the bill for G (the goods seller). This means that the landed cost should be allocated to the items rather than being simply added to G's bill.

Make a Separate Cost Entry: Make a separate entry for the landed cost in your accounting system to ensure that it is properly applied to the items. This entry should include the extra cost for the goods that were incurred because of freight fees, customs fees, or any other landed costs.

Properly Account for Landed Cost: Make sure that the landed cost entry is coded correctly in your accounting system to reflect that it is related to the goods and not an expense directly incurred by the Goods vendor (G) The correct cost of the goods is reflected in your financial records.

Payment to Freight Vendor (F): The payment for the landed cost should be made to the freight vendor (F) as per the agreed terms. can be used within the separate cost entry to allocate the landed cost to the particular goods.

The landing cost item must be coded correctly in your accounting system to show that it is related to the goods and not an expense directly incurred by the Goods seller (G).

Payment to Freight Vendor (F): In accordance with the terms set forth, the freight vendor (F) should receive payment for the landing cost.

By following these instructions, you can appropriately charge the landed cost to the products rather than the goods vendor (G) directly. This makes sure that your accounting records accurately reflect the real cost of the goods and the costs associated with their delivery and transportation.


Hope it helps

Hey Cybrosys,

I don't understand your answer, and I'm wondering if @Karsons did or not too.

You say to 'properly account for landed cost' (freight vendor (F)), but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this. If I create a Landed Cost within the "Create Bill" function from vendor (G), then the landed cost will be included in (G's) vendor bill. If I create a Landed Cost separately (Inventory -> Operations -> Landed Costs), there is not way to indicate that (F) is the vendor to whom this LC invoice must be paid. Also, when the Invoice from (F) actually arrives, there's no draft invoice to match it to.

Can you explain in more detail how to create the LC for the freight carrier (vendor F) so that the bill is payable to vendor (F)?
