Landed Cost Vouchers
Freight, duty, insurance and other charges spread onto the goods receipts they belong to. Add the receipts, enter the charges, preview the spread, then post: the share on stock still on hand raises its cost, the share on stock already issued goes to cost of goods sold.

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
