Shipment Record.

 

The order creation process does not change; only when you come to receipt the order is there an additional step, the creation of a shipment record.

 

Go to Parts-Purchase Orders-Create Shipment Record.

 

 

Enter all the details as requested.

 

•      In this example the order has a total overseas value of $4944, which at an exchange rate 0f .8012 = NZ$6170.74

•      On top of this there is $500 of NZ Charges for Courier/Customers. So the landed NZ Value is $6670.74.

•      The ‘Calc Factor’ is the Overseas invoice total of $4444 / Total NZ Value of $6670.74

•      In the ‘Factor Used’ field always use a factor slightly higher than the calculated in this example 1.52.

 

This factor is used to calculate the individual landed cost of each part. So a part costing US$80 will equal NZ$121.60 (80*1.52).
