To Enter a Bill with Landed Costs

An accounts payable bill to a landed cost vendor is usually created automatically on release of a landed cost document. If you have specified the appropriate settings to not create a bill automatically (for example, because you haven’t received an invoice from the landed cost vendor yet), you need to create this bill manually on the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form and add the line or lines of the landed cost document to this bill.

Back to TopBefore You Proceed

In accordance with your company’s policies, in a particular landed cost code on the Landed Cost Codes (PO202000) form, you must specify how the landed cost amounts should be allocated among the items in a purchase receipt.

Back to TopTo Create a Bill with Landed Costs

Open the Bills and Adjustments (AP301000) form.
Click Add New Record.
In the Type box of the Summary area, select Bill.
In the Date box, enter the date from the vendor invoice.
Select the landed cost vendor in the Vendor box.

The system fills in the following boxes automatically with the default settings of the selected vendor: Location, Terms, Due Date, and Cash Discount Date. Review these settings, and make any needed changes.

If required, in the Vendor Ref. box, enter the reference number of the vendor document.
In the Currency box, make sure the base currency is shown correctly.

On the table toolbar of the Details tab, click Add LC. In the Add LC dialog box, which opens, add landed costs to the bill as follows:

In the table, select the unlabeled check boxes in the line or lines with the landed costs to be added to the bill.
Click Add & Close to close the dialog box and add the selected lines.
