The process of allocating costs on a shipment will automatically be carried out after entry of the shipment costs, but may need to be performed more than once if, after the entry of the costs, shipment details change. Such changes may include a difference in received quantity, changes in weight and volume and lines missing from the reception.
Note: The allocation of shipment level costs does not re-calculate any discrete costs calculated at order line level. These are re-calculated automatically when details on the order line are changed.
- Select the Work with inbound shipments menu item.
- You access Work with inbound shipments, Headers. Select the shipment for which you want to allocate the costs and click Alloc costs.
- You remain on the same panel. The costs are now updated and allocated across the order lines according to the actual values entered when the goods were received. To view the costs allocated, refer to step 6 in Define distributed costs on an inbound shipment. You now have the following options from which to choose:
- perform quality control of the items included in the shipment. Note: Order lines have to be closed before this can be done.
- book the shipment. See Book an inbound shipment for instructions.
