The problems
By default, Odoo's Stock landed cost app only provides inventory cost allocation methods for storable products, but cannot track or manage landed costs per purchase order (PO). For example, when you purchase product A, you may need to purchase transportation services from another vendor. In this case, if you want to manage such information, you will need to:
- Create 2 PO;
- Receive product A;
- Open the second purchase order to record the transportation cost;
- Create a landed cost to allocate the cost of the transportation service to product A.
Afterward, after thousands of landed cost lines, how can you tell which ones are related?
The Solution
This app was developed to solve the above problem by providing the needed features to ensure that:
- Landed cost can be auto-generated when you confirm a PO that has landed costs;
- You can create landed cost from landed cost bills;
- Everything landed cost-related is traceable, e.g. landed cost adjustment, landed cost PO, landed cost bills, original PO, journal items for the landed cost account, etc.
