Actually, it is only possible to add costs, create voyages, and use the different features of Landed costs module regarding the purchase process.

However, a lot of our customers ask us to be able to add costs, create voyage, tracking goods and record 3rd parties invoices regarding the sales process.

Indeed, the cost price of the item will not be impacted but it will be easier to see the margin and it'll improve transportation follow-up on sales side a lot.

Finally, the landed cost features, if replicated on sales side, is way more easy to use than transportation management module for outbound transportation when customer does not track routes and rates.

Landed cost

Context:

I created a purchase order with a unit that is different from the inventory unit of the product

Item's inventory unit = Metric Ton

Purchase order's unit = Cubic meter

The conversion exists therefore, the system accepts to create the line in the purchase order with this unit.

Conversion is: 1MT for 2 cubic meter

I placed the purchase order on a voyage. On the voyage, I estimate a landed costs of 10 EUR per PCS (category : PCS).

As my purchase order line have a quantity of 10 cubic meter, I am thus expecting an estimated cost of 10 cubic meter multiplied by 10 EUR, which makes 100 EUR in cost inquiry.

However, the system calculates the costs based on the inventory unit of the product, i.e. MT and thus the cost inquiry gives me a cost of 5 MT multiplied by 10 EUR, which makes 50 EUR thanks to the conversion.

We would like to change the behavior so that the system can take into account the purchase unit rather than the inventory unit only.
