Oracle Landed Cost Management enables you to manage estimated and
actual landed cost for an item purchased from a supplier. Using Oracle
Landed Cost Management you can determine the "real" costs associated
with acquiring items including insurance, transportation, handling,
storage costs, container fees, and import or export charges.

Landed Cost Process

Landed Cost Management process is of two types. 1) Landed cost as Pre-receiving
2) Landed cost as service

Setups
1) Organization Parameters

First we need to enable LCM Enabled check box in Organization Parameters in Inventory as shown
below.
Navigation: Inventory -----> Setup -----> Organization ----->Parameters

Note: 1) Once this check box is enabled we cannot uncheck this.
LCM Variance account should be defined in Other accounts tab as shown below. This field will be
enabled only if LCM is enabled.

2) Receiving Parameters
In receiving parameters check this Pre-Receiving in LCM check box for LCM enabled organizations and
accounts should be defined mandatorily if the check box enabled.
Navigation: Inventory -----> Setup -----> Organization ----->Parameters

Note: 1) This is not a mandatory for LCM Enabled organization. If this is enabled we can make estimated
charges for a shipment and can be added to item cost. If this is not enabled the charges will be added
only after making Invoice for the receipt.

3) Landed Cost Management Options

We have to define LCM Options for LCM enabled Org. in Landed Cost Management Module.
Navigation: Landed Cost Management -----> Setup -----> Options

4) Defining Shipment Line Types
Setting up shipment line types is a mandatory step before you can use Landed Cost Management.
Shipment line type is a mandatory attribute of all shipment lines on a Landed Cost Management
shipment. It provides a shipment line categorization and also drives the landed cost calculation behavior.

Navigation: Landed Cost Management -----> Setup -----> Shipment Line types. Click on Create.




A window will be opened and details should be filled as below

Select the Included in Landed Cost check box if want the landed cost engine to include the line
amount for this shipment type in the landed cost for the item.

Select the Associable Line check box if the shipment line can be associated to another shipment
line. For example, the amount of the first line will be prorated and allocated to the landed cost
of the second shipment line.

5) Defining Shipment Types
Before you can begin to use Landed Cost Management you must create shipment types. Shipment type
determines the validations that will occur for a shipment.

Navigation: Landed Cost Management -----> Setup -----> Shipment Types



Define Third party allowed as Domestic (or) Foreign (or) both to use this shipment type for
particular type of suppliers.
Select the shipment line types that can be allowed in creating a shipment with this shipment
type.



Select the party types which will be allowed to use this shipment type in this tab.


Select the party usages, which use this shipment type in this tab.


Select the source type as the only available option purchase order.


Process
1) Creation of PO

First let us create a PO for the organization which we created above LC1- LCM Enabled Organization - 1
(Pre-Rec) Organization.


2) Shipments Creation
After PO is approved we cannot make normal receipt for this PO until a Shipment is created. So a
shipment needs to be created.
Navigation: Landed Cost Management -----> Workbench -----> Shipments
Select the organization and click on Go and Create as shown below.

A window will be opened as shown below. Select the shipment type created and then enter the group
reference manually for reference (not mandatory). Select the PO Supplier in Third Party column and its
site in Site column.

After entering these details click on Save and then click on Lines as shown below.

Enter the PO Number in the field shown below and click on Go

Select the check box in the line and enter the qty for which receipt is going to be made. Then click on
Apply and Save.
Now click on Manage Charges as shown in Figure

Then enter cost factors for the charges, Supplier and Estimated charge for that cost factor. Then select
the Association type form the available options like Shipment, Line group, Shipment line.(Say Shipment).
Click on Apply.

Now select the validate option as shown below and click on Go. Similarly repeat this step for Calculate,
Submit.

3) Creating Receipt

Once this is done, now make the receipt in Inventory. We have to select source type as LCM and then
select PO and shipment number as shown.


Here the qty column will be frozen and is equal to the qty entered in shipment in LCM module.

Make receipt and receiving transaction also as a regular process.
Now we can check the charges for the shipment in LCM. Open the shipment and click on view Landed
cost.

4) Creation of Invoice for Charges with actual value
Select the supplier for which the charges have been entered in LCM and enter the actual value as shown
and click on Match

Select the Type as Miscellaneous if it is related to any other charges other than freight. Enter the PO
Supplier and PO number click on find.


Validate and create accounting is also done for this invoice.

After this we have to run two requests in LCM. They are as follows
1) Matches Interface Import
2) Submit Pending Shipments
Then click submit in shipments in Landed cost.


5) Accounting Entries

At Deliver Step:

At Invoice for Goods received:
