Allocating an import cost to some lines only in a multi line Landed Cost Shipment form

Costs for a Shipment are to apportioned to some lines only - not all the lines in the shipment.

Step-by-step guide

Allocating to some lines only can be done quite simply as follows:

  • Import Costs - enter your import cost, select the method for allocation, tick Apportioned and save.  This updates the Shipment and the Shipment Lines tab with the import costs

  • Shipment Lines - Import Costs are apportioned to all the lines for that purchase order

  • Import Costs - un-tick Apportioned and save

  • Shipment Lines - Import Costs are now 0.00.  Right mouse click in the line of an inventory item that this cost is NOT to apportioned to and select View Import Costs

  • Line Costs box - un-tick the Include box and OK

  • Repeat for the other lines that are NOT to have costs apportioned and save

  • Import Costs - tick Apportioned and save

  • Shipment Lines - import costs have now only been applied to 2 items
