In this article we will look at using the Landed Cost module in Jiwa to bring stock in where additional costs need to be added to the supplier cost price in order to calculate a landed cost.
Overview
The Landed Cost module is not restricted to imported stock but can also be used for local purchases where additional costs such as freight need to be added to the cost of the items.
The primary functions of the module are to;
- Calculate landed cost,
- Manage shipments – a shipment can represent a container/(s) or truck carrying goods right from a single purchase order through to multiple suppliers with multiple purchase orders,
- Manage multiple book ins (stock receipts) against a single shipment, and
- Provide flexibility in when stock is received and when the shipment is finalised
The following digram provides an overview of the shipment process flow which will be covered in this article.
