Landed Cost

Import costs such as transportation, insurance, duty, and taxes can make up a large portion (upwards of 40%) of an item's cost. Many distributors, manufacturers and retailers struggle to keep up with the dynamics of importing goods and require flexibility in cost allocation methods. When goods are imported, some of these costs can affect the valuation of inventory. Therefore, it is necessary to capture and allocate the import costs, to determine the landed costs of a particular item.

Scalable's Landed Cost helps streamline the task of tracking shipment estimates vs. actual costs and then allocates those costs to the appropriate inventory item or General Ledger account. Landed Cost takes Items from multiple Purchase Orders or Vendors and consolidates them in one shipment. This consolidated shipment reduces costs, and at the same time allocates the total shipment costs across the items on the shipment with flexible allocation methods. Adding shipment costs to inventory valuations provide an accurate cost and profit analysis of items, vendors, clients and projects. When these costs and profit analysis are accurately incorporated into the overall financial picture better decisions can be made to maximize profits and competitiveness.

Shipment Tracking

In addition to tracking costs, it is important to be able to accurately predict and communicate lead times across the Supply Chain. Many distributors, manufacturers and retailers struggle to access the delivery dates of an imported item because it is too time consuming to manually update the delivery status for every single Purchase Order line on the shipment.

With Shipment Tracking you can build shipments that include multiple vendors and Purchase orders with many Items. When the estimated delivery dates of the shipment change, all of the delivery dates for the items on the shipment are automatically updated. These Item updates flow through to inventory and allow full visibility of what is in stock, what is ordered, and when those orders will be available. Master Planning is also updated to allow production to see changes in Net Requirements as item delivery dates change.
