Yes @PaulJ, you can update the landed cost anytime on the container as long as accounting period is open, I am not sure but I don’t think you can create one container/shipment with multiple subsidiary purchase orders.

Really? even after you've processed receipts FROM the container? I wasn't able to make any changes to the landed costs tab....is there a configuration option or preference for this that I'm missing?? And as an aside, you absolutely can find and link POs from different subsidiaries to one container. It honestly looks like the list of available POs is ANY PO in ANY subsidiary as long as it has unreceived quantity of an inventory item.

Never mind you are right
May we add in the landed cost later? Some clients receive the invoice from freight forwarders a month later. Will the update apply to posted Item Receipts if we edit the received Inbound Shipment? A: No, you can only associate landed cost when “IS” is in the To be shipped or In Transit status.
SA 68830 should answer lot of your questions

Ya I saw that....I guess I was hoping that there's been SOME improvements since the 2018.1 release training webinar and I just couldn't find it anywhere. How disappointing/consistent....Okay thanks!!

: Can we enter landed cost at the shipment level and then change/adjust on item receipt? A: Yes.
did you try editing the item receipt?
p
yup. totally possible but really painful. If you have 50 receipts associated to the shipment, calculating what the allocation of the final freight/duty amount SHOULD be and making sure you then update EACH receipt CORRECTLY is....not something I'd look forward to documenting or training users on as a process. 🙂 I have a case out to NS. Let's see if anything has improved since 2018. If so I'll throw it in here for reference.

👍🙏
I think in one of the faq they said they are aware of the requirement so maybe it’s coming up in future release

Just to close the loop - no changes to documentation from 2018.1. They actually recommend writing your OWN scripts to update the landed cost field on the item receipts when you get the final bill.
