Add landed costs
A landed cost adds freight, duty, handling or a similar charge onto the value of stock you've received. Yessort offers two ways to add one — on the goods invoice itself, or as a document of its own.
On the goods invoice
- In the invoice builder, open Service & landed costs and select Add service line.
- Set how the line is distributed — how much of the charge each received line absorbs: Expense, which has no effect on stock value, or Landed, spread across the received lines by value, by qty or by weight.
- If the invoice covers freight only, with no goods lines of its own, choose which receipt the charge lands on using the Land onto receipt picker.
As a separate landed cost invoice
- From Purchasing → Invoices, select New landed cost invoice from the split button.
- Under Charges, select Add charge for each charge on the invoice.
- Each charge carries an Affects WAC switch. Switch it on to choose a Distribution basis (By value, By quantity or By weight) and the Target goods receipt the charge applies to. Switch it off to give the charge an Account code instead — it's then treated purely as an expense, with no target receipt and no effect on stock value.
Where the two connect
A goods invoice lists any landed cost invoices raised against it under a Landed costs section, with Add landed cost to start another one from there directly.
What distribution means
Choosing by value, by qty (or by quantity) or by weight spreads the charge across the goods receipt's received lines in proportion to each line's share of the total value, quantity or weight — a heavier or higher-value line absorbs more of the charge than a lighter or cheaper one.
What a landed cost invoice never does
A landed cost invoice is never checked against the three-way match — there's no purchase order quantity or price of its own to compare it to. And it carries no stock lines of its own — every charge on it applies to stock that arrived, and was already accounted for, on a separate goods receipt.
