Our Inbound Shipments have landed cost allocation of "Value", however, Item Receipts come in as "Weight", how can we fix this?
s
Can you create another landed cost template?
j
I am confused by the Cost Factor in % Value allocation method. How does it work exactly?
s
SA 11114, shows you the calculation
j
It does not explain the template calculation (the cost factor specifically), we do not use templates we just have the landed cost allocation method on the inbound shipments set to Value but for some reason the calculations are wrong and on the item receipts it says the method is weight.
s
If you don’t use templates then just edit the item receipt and change the allocation method, as long as accounting period is open
j
The allocation method on the item receipts are locked after created, even as an Admin.
s
Hmm not sure then, I thought it would stay open as long as accounting period is open
j
Wouldn't changing the allocation throw off the calculation for all the non-changed receipts though?
s
I don’t think so, it would only affect the items on that item receipt
j
Right, but NS pulled the value for the receipt from the overall value of the inbound shipment, so if you change it on one, the math would not add up as it would not know what portion of the freight to distribute to that specific receipt
s
Hmm maybe you can do JE to correct, I am not accounting person so not sure though
