Overview
Landed Cost is an essential way to calculate the true cost of each product you purchase by determining the total cost for you to acquire that product from the factory floor to your warehouse.
Landed Cost could be calculated as follows:
Freight + Customs + Duties + Insurance = Landed Cost
Allocation Methods

Allocations methods supported by Finale Inventory:
