Streamlining Manufacturing with Cetec ERP’s Landed Cost Feature
In today’s competitive manufacturing industry, controlling operational costs and enhancing profitability is crucial. Understanding and capturing the full cost of inventory, including taxes, freight, customs, and other expenses, is essential for accurate cost accounting and strategic decision-making. Cetec ERP’s landed cost functionality provides manufacturers with the tools to manage these costs effectively, ensuring precise calculation of product costs.
Landed cost encompasses all costs associated with getting inventory to your warehouse, such as shipping, duties, and taxes. By accurately tracking and allocating these expenses, businesses can improve their pricing strategies and protect profit margins. This comprehensive approach to cost management is vital for maintaining competitive advantage and operational efficiency.
Cetec ERP simplifies landed cost management by integrating it directly into the receiving process. When inventory is received, all associated costs - including freight and additional expenses - are entered into the system. The system then automatically calculates the cost for the quantity received and adds the appropriate amount of landed cost to the final cost of the part. This ensures that all additional costs are accounted for when selling your parts, providing a more accurate picture of your inventory costs.
