Landed Cost Tariffs
Landed Cost Tariffs are used in combination with Recurring Costs. Each Recurring Cost must have a related Landed Cost Tariff that will be used to automate the calculation of the estimated Landed Cost when creating a sales or purchase document.
To create tariffs, search for Landed Cost Tariffs on the Search bar and open the related page. It is also possible to access to Landed Cost Tariffs through Item Charges page.

Calculation Basis
Calculation Basis options for tariffs are:
- Quantity (default value) - when this tariff is applied on Landed Cost calculation, the document line quantities are used as basis for calculation. When this option is selected, Tariff Type is automatically filled with Rate.
- Amount - when this tariff is applied on Landed Cost calculation, the document Line Amount Excl. VAT are used as basis for calculation. When this option is selected, Tariff Type is automatically changed to %.
- Quantity (Base) -when this tariff is applied on Landed Cost calculation, the document line base quantities are used as basis for calculation. When this option is selected, Tariff Type is automatically filled with Rate.
- Weight - when this tariff is applied on Landed Cost calculation, the document line weight is used as basis for calculation. When this option is selected, Tariff Type is automatically filled with Rate.
Additional Calculation Basis can appear when installing other apps using Landed Costs for cost registration (for example Transport Management would add Volume, Ground Pallets, Shipping Container Unit). These would raise on error when trying to select in Landed Costs Tariffs.
It is possible to edit/delete tariffs. However, if the tariff being modified/deleted is already applied to a document, the changes won’t affect the existing documents.
