Landed Cost

The landed cost is determined by the type of order used when the parts purchase order is created (e.g. SO: Stock Order, MD: Machine Down, FI: Fill In, etc.).

Parts are then received into inventory at the landed cost figure, which in turn affects the Average CostClosed The average cost is automatically updated whenever parts are receipted in the system (either through inventory adjustments or parts orders). When a part is returned, the system uses the Average cost to return that part to Inventory. To calculate Average Cost, assume a part is added to the system with a cost of $10.00 and 2 parts are receipted. The average cost is $10.00 for each of these 2 parts. Now assume the cost increases to $12.00 later in the year and 1 additional part is receipted after that cost has increased. The new average cost is calculated as follows: (Old Avg Cost x Old on Hand) + (New Cost x Number of Parts Receipted at New Cost) / Old on Hand + Number of Parts Receipted OR (10.00 x 2) + (12.00 x 1) / (2 + 1) = $10.66. Some additional costs that you might include in your landed cost factor are freight, duty, exchange, or premium for certain types of orders such as machine down, etc.

Note:  Only miscellaneous and equipment purchase orders support P/O Distribution.
