How to View Landed Costs

Overview​

The Landed Cost list is your record of every extra charge you've added onto received stock — the freight, duty, insurance and handling that made your goods cost more than the supplier's price alone. From here you can see which shipment each charge belonged to, what was added, how it was shared out, and how it moved your item costs.

note

Availability depends on your plan and your role.

Before you start​

  • You need permission to view inventory movements.
  • At least one Landed Cost should exist to see anything in the list.

Step-by-Step Guide​

Step 1: Open the list​

From the left sidebar, open Stores & Inventory and click Landed Cost. The list opens showing every landed cost you've recorded, newest first.

Step 2: Read the list​

Each row is one landed cost. At a glance you can see:

ColumnWhat it tells you
ReferenceThe unique number for this landed cost — your handle for it.
DateThe day the charges were applied.
Source ReceiptThe goods receipt the charges were added to.
Total ChargesThe full amount of extra cost added across all lines.
Allocation BasisHow the charges were shared — by value or by quantity.

Step 3: Search and sort​

  • Search by reference number or receipt to find a particular landed cost.
  • Sort by clicking a column header — for example, by date to see the most recent first.
  • Page through the list using the controls at the bottom.

Step 4: Open a landed cost for the full picture​

Click a row (or its expand arrow) to see the detail:

  • The charge lines — each type (freight, duty, insurance, clearing, handling) and its amount.
  • The allocation basis used to split them.
  • The items affected and the share of cost each one took.
  • The receipt the charges were applied against.

This is your trail for how an item's cost was built up — invaluable when you want to explain why a product's cost sits higher than the supplier's price.

What you can check from here​

Common Issues & Solutions​
