When a vendor bill is received for the actual landed costs from the shipping vendor, the amounts are entered using landed cost items that correspond to the cost categories on the template. This action writes the actual landed costs into the GL, producing a variance if the costs are different from the estimated.

Landed cost templates are configured with the appropriate cost categories and assigned to each inventory item. When items are ordered and received, item receipts are generated, which utilize the template to create estimated landed costs for that receipt—these estimated costs are updated to the item record.
