3. Suspended Landed Costs Matrix option - Purchase Order Processing
This is a new option
If you apportion landed costs, this option functions in a similar manner to the existing Landed Costs Matrix option
However, one enhancement to both the existing Landed Cost Matrix and the Suspended Landed Cost Matrix is that only one category from either the Supplier or the Stock file is now required to create the matrix – previously both categories had to be entered
Note: If the existing Landed Costs functionality is in use, running the Suspended Receipts Conversion option will extend the existing Landed Costs Matrix from 4 add-on costs up to a maximum of 10 add-on costs

4. How do you set the matrix to apportion landed costs?
If you are using apportioned landed costs, you can now define the purpose of up to 10 landed cost elements – each cost element is assigned to a specific cost purpose via the new system keys POLNDAPP01 to POLNDAPP10
For example, the system keys POLNDAPP01 to POLNDAPP10 could be set as follows:
w to assign the landed cost element to weight
q to assign the landed cost element to quantity
v to assign the landed cost element to value
d to assign the landed cost element to dimensions
When setting estimates within the Suspended Landed Cost Matrix therefore, each cost element for each supplier and stock category must refer to the same type of cost, for example, a cost of ‘insurance’ must be consistent for each supplier / stock category
The enhancements to the apportioned landed costs functionality therefore allow 'x' amount of costs elements to be reserved for the specific use of apportionment to the purchase receipt (via the system keys POLNDAPP01 to POLNDAPP10), with any other remaining elements used as additional add-on costs per detail line

10. How do you enter apportioned landed costs?
Depending on working practice, the apportioned landed costs can be entered in one of two ways:
Where a receipt / shipment consists of one supplier and one, or many purchase orders – the import costs can be entered for one, or many purchase orders
Where a receipt / shipment consists of one, or many suppliers and many purchase orders – the import costs can be entered for one, or many suppliers
Note: The second example is more common for the receipt of a shipment of goods
The process of apportionment is not performed until the receipt is posted – this allows the apportioned landed costs to be checked and amended if required before posting

The landed cost estimates for the product lines are taken from the Suspended Landed Costs Matrix file
Note: These costs are only displayed if a shipping reference has been entered into the Suspended Receipts header information and the supplier / product category combination exists in the Suspended Landed Cost Matrix
You can view these details in both the base or a selected currency (F7/F8)
The cost elements that are not available for entry are apportioned from the Header Landed Costs
From this point you can enter the actual costs for the estimated values

16. How have the apportioned landed costs been calculated?
w (weight): Within the Suspended Landed Cost Matrix this estimate is proportional to the weight of the receipt line, for example, if the estimate is per 1000kg and the weight of the order line is 10 qty * 1000kg = 10000kg, the estimate is (10000 * 100) / 1000 =
q (quantity): Within the Landed Cost Matrix this estimate is proportional to the quantity of the receipt line, for example, if the estimate is per quantity of 5, and the receipt line is for a quantity of , the estimate is (200 * 10) / 5 =
v (value): This simply defines a one-off value that is not proportional to the receipt line – the estimate is taken directly from the Landed Cost Matrix
p (percentage): The estimated value is calculated as a percentage of the receipt line value, therefore, an estimated percentage of 20% on a receipt line of would give an estimate of 40.00
d (dimension) The dimension value is retrieved from one of the dimension fields held in the Stock file, i.e. height, length or width and determined by the value of the new system key POLANDDIM
