I am testing using the transportation system rather than landed cost to accrue for and allocate freight by item.
Using average cost method, landed costs does not allow a fixed estimated amount ($1000 freight for point x to y) to be allocated to the items received. The LC way required a per LB cost to be applied to the receipt so the accrual and varies depending on the total weight of the shipment. We know the cost of a full truck shipment and want to accrue and absorb the entire cost into the items in the shipment (regardless of the total weight varying.
I have been testing TMS and it appears to do this well, except if a line on the PO is not received – it still allocates costs to that item.
Does anyone have experience with inbound freight in TMS that could give some insight into this or other possible issues?
