Landed Cost from Inbound Shipment Is Not Carried Forward to Item Receipt

In creating of item receipt from inbound shipment with added landed cost, the landed cost is not carried forward to the item receipt. Related purchase order in the inbound shipment has multiple line items for Inventory Items that is using Track Landed Cost and separate ownership transfer and item receipts are created per line items.


This usually happens when purchase order has multiple line items for items and not all line items are  selected under Associated Items column in Landed Cost tab in inbound shipment record. Thus, in order to edit the inbound shipment to correct associated items, child records (item receipt and ownership transfer) should be deleted.

  1. Delete the item receipt and transfer ownership record
    1. Navigate to Transactions > Purchases > Receive Orders > List
    2. Click Edit for the item receipt record with issue
    3. Hover mouse in Actions
    4. Select Delete
    5. Navigate to Transactions > Purchases > Ownership Transfers
    6. Click Edit for the related ownership transfer
    7. Hover mouse in Actions
    8. Select Delete

  2. Edit the inbound shipment and add the line item in the Associated Items in Landed Cost tab
    1.  Navigate to Transactions > Purchases > Create Inbound Shipment > List
    2. Click Edit for the related inbound shipment
    3. Click Landed Cost
    4. Click the Cost Category line item
    5. Click Associated Item
    6. Select all line items wished to be associated with Landed Cost
    7. Click Save

Note: This solution is possible if the related transactions (child-records) of the inbound shipment is in open accounting period. Thus, re-processing of ownership transfer and item receipt should be an option.
