Significant improvement in landed costs to include: 1) Ability to associate PO or AP invoice for landed cost with an item so that cost is allocated from invoice to the product and appropriate allocation to cogs and inventory is made, even if after-the-fact. 2) Ability to have landed costs automatically calculated as percentages of costs or rates per unit 3) Ability to allocate landed costs to multiple PO's simultaneously (for example, for a container that contains goods from multiple PO?s)

  • We could use something like #2 for both product coming in and going out. We have frequent surcharges on commodity-based products like wood, steel, paper and plastic that are expressed as a percentage of the cost of the components we receive. Our vendors are able to include a separate surcharge cost after each line item on their invoices.

    We also invoice our customers these surcharges as a percentage of the price of the finished goods, regardless of which tier the customer is in. Currently we have to calculate the surcharges manually from the sales order and enter them as miscellaneous charges.

  • I would add the ability to land costs to inventory transfers. If we bring inventory from our California warehouse to our Salt Lake warehouse, it'd be nice to land the cost of that movement.

  • Don't know if this should be a separate idea, but it would be great if the AP Open Invoice by Job report displayed the same invoice total as the AP Open Invoice report for customers using Job Cost.

    Just ran into this when our customer implemented the PO module. Processing Receipt of Goods with invoice - frt and sales tax (on the totals tab)go to the job, but not reflected on AP Open by Job. Customer expecting same results as AP Open Invoice report. Note: their AP invoicing process prior to PO implementation involved their entering the entire invoice total to a single invoice line, and they relied on the Open Invoice by Job report. We have a workaround, but would prefer having the tax/frt landed cost associated with the invoice line.
