Awesome feature Hector and indeed Intuit should correct/update the screen/forms to show the user important info like the memos and the calculation feature in the New Selling Price screen/form. Well explained.
Hi Hector! Love watching your video. My question is around reporting. I'd like to be able to look at a supplier and see the acquisition cost, the landed cost and the new cost of the landed item. Have you been able to pull any reports? I cannot find a way to do this easily. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Dear Sir Please Guide , My Assembly items calculated with average cost that should be calculate on landed cost so that my cost will be perfect when i built an assembly it is calculated on average cost not on landed cost Please Please Guide
Hi professor CPA, I have one question related to land cost and Quickbook .. As your Quickbook enterprise is advance inventory that has land cost and advance inventory ... How can we check the expiration date of Quickbook and the subscription advance inventory? Because Quickbook enterprise are annual payment .. how to play the times that need to pay annual payment .. Thanks
I have follow the video and I did exactly what you showed but I can not see any bill when I click on "ADD BILLS". It says: THERE ARE NO S&H ITEMS MAPPED TO CLEARING LANDED COST OR S&H BILLS CREATED POST LANDED COST SET UP. Do you know what the problem could be? Thanks
Hector, great tutorial. Landed cost calculates one inventory bill at a time. What workaround would apply for a consolidated shipment (2 or more vendor bills) and one freight bill?
Learning a lot from you already so thanks in advance. So new to QuickBooks enterprise platinum and since before we didn't track shipping separately. Just wondering what the best way to go from a purchase order we send to a vendor and they in return send invoice with shipping costs. So do we receive the inventory and when bill is created add an item line for shipping? or do something with landed cost? Also I have such a hard time wondering why there isn't a manual entry or a vendor discount % feature for when PO's are created. Most of the time we know what the msrp is and there isn't a way we can just put in somewhere that when we order from vendor x we get a 20% discount for those items. If vendor x wants to give us 25% discount we have to go through each item and change costs. Seems like the margin area in inventory is lacking for figuring this out also since you need to know your cost first. Be nice if there was a manual entry area as well since some vendors have special terms where we get another 5 to 10% off at times of the year. On top of the 2% -10 net 30. Is there a way you can track PO's and sales by sales person also and have it listed somewhere on the paper trail?
Since landed cost is a new feature and will continue to use avg cost what is the recommendation for current inventory and landed cost that has already been paid for?
The Idea behind the constant change of interfaces that could be annoying sometimes is not to become old fashioned program. I believe that you would judge an application by its features and functions, but normal user would prefer the newly seemed application over the old looking one. Take facebook for example if they stopped changing their interface the website would've stayed on its first look which would be considered very old fashioned and would kept users away. Thank you Mr Garcia, for the videos and the lessons.
Hi Hector, thank you for this video! I have a question. Is this landed cost going to be tied to the specific items received on the bill and their lot number? and when using FIFO will it assign the correct landed cost to the oldest items in my inventory? The landed cost varies sometimes significantly so i was wondering if it was tied to the lot number. Also, Can i assign landed cost to inventory I already have in the system? how that would affect the financials? thank you for your help.. I tried to be as clear as I could.
This is a great new feature. It still seems a little backwards to me - generally we pay for landed costs AFTER we get the bill for the parts. So I work starting with the bill for landed costs and then want to associate it with specific part numbers. This should work so that if any of those items have been included in a customer invoice in a prior period, it should recognize that additional expense and generate a GL transaction in the current period based on additional unit cost added. Is that funcationality also included with this?
My current version of QBDT 2020 now gives me an option to choose whether to set up my Clearing Landed Cost Account to either Other Current Asset (Recommended) or COGS as your video suggested. So should I choose COGS instead of their recommended settings? Thanks!
@@HectorGarciaCPA I experimented with both actually. Functionality it's quite similar although the major difference using COGS vs. Other Current Assets is not seeing the outstanding balance appear in the COA. Maybe that's why QB is recommending Other Current Assets instead of COGS?
Hello. I’ve created Item and invoice. Problem: I have several line items all at $42.50. Total Quantity of the line items equals 720.22. Now when I use a calculator to multiply 720.22 times the unit price 42.50 I get $30609.35. I use subtotal on invoice and QBDT Premier has total of $30613.28. Why is QB rounding up? How do I turn off
How can we allocate freight based on volume of the goods we import? Our goods come from Vietnam and China and we typically cube out our 40' containers that contain a variety of items that take vastly different volumes compared to the FOB cost, so we would want to allocate based on volume - will we be able to do that? Thanks in advance
@@HectorGarciaCPA Sounds like I just need to do the allocation calc offline and then enter it using the percentage method. For each SKU I will measure pack dimensions and qty to get volume each and use this as a data table and vlookup in volumes in a second tab where I enter the item number and pack quantity. Our best volume utilization use on a 40' container is 95% so I will use that as the standard. My cost standard will be the most common rate I hav paid in the last 6 months. When I allocate if I pay more (or less) than standard or pack less (or more) than standard I will make those general cost of goods sold expenses for the period in which this occurs and will treat these as volume packing variance to standard and shipping cost variance from standard so that I get uniform costs per item. Just not sure how often to update the pricing standard. Thanks, Scott
Has anyone figured out if you can add and allocate a "landed cost" on the same receiving bill from our supplier? The majority of our significant incoming shipping costs we need to account for are prepaid and added to the invoice we get from our supplier. Do we have to create a second "-A" invoice for the same supplier just for the incoming shipping costs to make this work?
Hi Hector thanks for sharing this. I am able to do what you presented. But on the calculate landed cost page I dont get an option to post to bill. Can you tell why?
recently my QuickBooks enterprises could not complete the transaction, the landed cost would not apply to the items. have your problem resolved? I called QB customer service, but the pro can not give the the answer. shared the screen with them still could not find out WHY?
What I don't like about this feature is that it changes the item cost on the inventory bill itself. The vendor that sells the inventory isn't changing the cost of their item; rather, COGS (or in this case "other assets") like freight and duty are put into the cost of the inventory items separately to arrive at a new, landed cost of the inventory items.... the vendor's cost doesn't actually change, but now my QB file has different costs than my paperwork. Thank you for explaining this new feature, however! I was hoping it would save me some time but after seeing it in action, I don't think it will.
@@marthajames8326 Any update on this? We were going to upgrade to QB MFG Enterprise Platinum for the landed cost feature but would not want the vendor cost to change. In reading other comments, it looks as though others say the vendor cost doesn't change, it just changes in the Inventory Valuation Summary and the landed cost BIll. Does it change the cost (vendor item price) in the PO? @JC Ogden
Hi Hector, Great Video! We also have the Desktop Enterprise - Contractors Edition. We recently started doing Inventory and needed a proper way to Allocate the cost of Freight and Sales Tax to the jobs. This is perfect; however, I followed the steps Identically and it will Not update my costs on the bill itself or the Items and amount due tab. Do you have any idea why it will not update the totals for me? I do click skip and proceed when it asks if I want to update my sales price, is that an issue? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
@@HectorGarciaCPA I figured it out finally and took me several days of continuous reading articles and forums to get the answer. Come to find out this happens to a lot of people, and some have had the issue for years and Intuit couldn't even figure it out after 2 years of continuous investigation. However, I found an individual who finally figured it out without the help of intuit. If this happens to anyone, then chances are they will have to change their "Product Description" on the bill. For some reason if your product description has Certain Symbols other than Letters & Numbers it won't Allocate the cost on the bill. To fix this you must open the Bill and click on the product description and remove symbols and then resave the bill. You will then reopen the bill and Calculate Landed Cost and this time it should work! So, if you have people that ever ask you why it won't work, and they have done everything right then please tell them to try this and they should be good to go.
After you calculate your landed cost the Landed Cost Clearance Cost shows a negative number on the Balance Sheet? Is this correct or am I missing a step?
It migt show a small balance for rounding errors.. This is why I personally prefer the clearing account in the P&L as a COGS account instead. You can just adjust that remaining balance against COGS
Can you assign freight & customs to an inventory assembly item that is manufactured overseas and then imported? Or should freight & customs be part of the build?
Hi Sir, it seems like the multiple currency don't allocate accurately with the landed cost specially on the purchase price is different currency from the landed cost clearing on home currency.Any suggestion on work around?
This is great! Is there a way to make landed cost visible on the invoicing page though. It would be nice to see that when determining how cheap I can actually sell an item for, instead of drilling down in the items edit page.
So if we apply the landed cost to the item and then in the future when we go to purchase this item again and send a Purchase Order, will it show the correct cost for the vendor, or will it show the landed cost?
Hi Hector, great explanation video, I didn't understand how to use this feature until today. In my case it seems a lot more work than useful, hopefully you can help me out. I have QB manufacturing edition, landing cost is great but kind of pointless for me because it does not update the assembly item with the landing cost, it keeps the vendors price. So correct me if I'm wrong but even after using the new feature I would still need an excel sheet to calculate my assembly item's true cost....?
No.. the ACTUAL cost of your assembly item will be higher if you apply landed cost to the inventory items I me the BOM.. the “cost” that you see on the BOM screen are the vendor costs and are only “useful” for setup up a sales price. But if you want to assembly items to have the landed cost of the components; just receive all competente with landed cost
@@HectorGarciaCPA thank you so much for replying. I'm experimenting with 1 assembly product and I am using landed cost on one of the items used but it's not updating in BOM of assembly product. Is there an option that I need to turn on for BOM to include landing cost?
Sergio Hank correct; you won’t see the “landed cost” in the BOM.. but when you build the assembly, the inventory value of the assembly will include the landed cost.
Hay Hector, I have a question, We have a scenario, Products we purchased are in Euro Currency, and pay Shipping cost in USD. When Calculate Landed cost it does not show Shipping cost (Bills recorded in USD) It only shows Bill's recorded in EURO. Is their any way to tackle this scenario ? Thanks

Hello Hector, I am a subscriber to your channel and I want to share with you and your viewers something that happened to me after I did a landed cost transaction.

I made a few landed cost transactions and noticed afterward that my inventory, accounts payable and cost of goods sold were off. I discovered that all of the inventory items that were entered on the bill from my vendor that did not have a U/M designation did not reverse the original inventory amount but rather added it back in. Quickbooks I assume tried compensating for this by posting random credit amounts to make the adjustments but in the end did not clear the account totally.

Nvm i figured it out. you need to create a PO for your landed cost shipping item, receive it, and tie a bill to the receipt. Only then will the accounting be correct AND the shipping will be available as a landed cost to allocate. In other words you cannot simply enter a bill for your shipping landed cost item because that debit will go to inventory offset account.
