Depending on what Cost Treatment you are using for a "Landed Cost Type" there are different setup requirements to ensure that Clever Landed Costs posts costs in a way that ensures financial integrity.

Default Cost Treatment

  • Overhead Applied should be set to the same account as Invt. Accrual Acc. (Interim) to ensure landed costs posted via the Overhead Rate mechanism clear correctly on invoicing
  • Each "Landed Cost Type" requires an Accrual Account and a Variance Account

Charge Item Cost Treatment

  • Each "Landed Cost Type" requires a Charge Item No. and Gen. Bus. Posting Group
  • The "General Posting Setup" associated to the Charge Item (through the posting group combination) must have Invt. Accrual Acc. (Interim) and Purch. Account configured
  • Automatic Cost Posting and Expected Cost Posting to G/L must be enabled on the "Inventory Setup" screen
