Landed Costs/Average Actual Cost

Don't believe Vantage can do what you want directly/automatically.



Depending on your parts list you maybe able to adjust it each month
manually. You look at material burden.

I think costing in Vantage is a big debate but at the end of the day
it is a Tier 2 system.

Anyway, what I am trying to do is convert to using Average Actual Costs ... from Standard Costs ... but can't figure out how to add things like crateing charges, energy surcharges, handling charges, brokerage fees, customs fees, etc to the item cost.

Can anyone shed some light?
