Advanced Costing

Determine the true cost of your items, including all associated expenses or reductions (landed cost), to gain an accurate perspective on your actual profit margins.

FREE TRIAL   TUTORIAL

When purchasing an item, additional expenses such as shipping, customs clearance, and insurance are often incurred. While you can record these landed costs directly in your accounting system, this can lead to an increase in your stock value, which may not always align with the actual situation. Additionally, it's important to consider upcoming end-of-year volume discounts when calculating your margins and sales prices. These discounts can significantly impact the true cost, but standard Business Central lacks a feature to manage this effectively. With Powerblox Advanced Costing, you have the capability to accurately calculate the off-balance, true cost (landed cost) of an item.

Key features

  • Categorize items under specific landed cost categories
  • Customize supplements or reductions per item, item category, landed cost category, or vendor
  • Compute costs off the balance sheet
  • Enhance precision in margin and sales price calculations
  • Account for supplementary expenses such as taxes, insurance, currency conversion, and handling fees
  • Deduct anticipated end-of-year discounts
  • Maintain a transparent and up-to-date overview of your profit margins

Advanced Cost Document


Select your preferred cost base, such as the last purchase price or the unit cost (average), and specify supplements and reductions to accurately compute the landed cost based on the average purchase quantity for each item, item category, landed cost category, or vendor. For each type, you have the flexibility to designate a fixed cost per unit, a fixed cost per order, or a percentage. This allows you to incorporate various supplements, including taxes, insurance, currency conversion, handling fees, as well as any potential reductions.

Landed Cost on Item Level

Within the item card, the "landed cost" field presents the actual cost, determined by the chosen cost definition. This field incorporates supplementary costs and subtracts applicable discounts, providing you with a dynamic, real-time insight into the genuine cost of your item.
