Perfect Import Costing Module

The Perfect Import Costing module allows importers to track shipments and accurately cost each item in the shipment. It allows the importer to define and calculate charges that apply to their own costing situation. Import Costing is fully integrated with Sage Peachtree accounting systems, this module is the ideal software solution for companies who need to automatically calculate the landed costs of imported inventory.

OVERVIEW

* The Import Costing module is used to construct 'shipments' from either an existing single purchase order or span multiple purchase orders.

* These orders can be costed at any stage by specifying relevant exchange rates and applying user defined shipment costs. When the costs have been finalized and the good received, the shipment can be processed to update the accounting software's inventory and purchase order files. Based on the newly calculated unit cost.

* General ledger postings are automatically set up, and a supplier invoice is created. A history of each shipment is retained for later viewing or reporting.

SHIPMENTS

The main features of the shipment routine are:

• Allows new shipments to be created and existing shipments which are still 'in transit' to be altered.
• The order status displays all outstanding orders for a nominated supplier with the current status of the shipment.
• Shipments are constructed by selecting all or part of the detail items from the displayed orders.
• Shipments are automatically assigned a shipment number and stored in a new shipment file.
• Detail lines can be added and removed and quantities can be modified from shipments at any time.

COSTING

• The main features of the costing routine are:
• Allows shipments to be loaded and costed.
• The shipment is automatically totaled and converted to local currency at a nominated exchange rate.
• Up to 20 user-defined shipment costs.
• Can maintain unlimited number of HS codes.
• Cost may be apportioned manually or by quantity or value.
• Can allocate different duty amounts for different HS codes.
• The ability to perform a 'What if' analysis to see the effect of changes in exchange rates and shipment costs on the final landed cost prior to processing.
• Costs can be entered as they are received and stored with the shipment so that the costing can be updated over a period of time.
• “Sundry” shipments can be created, allowing new contings and selling prices to be calculated, for importers requiring “previews” of shipments before purchase orders are placed.
