With Microsoft’s landed cost capability, the status of goods in transit updates in real-time, anytime – even when dates and perimeters are changed. When we have these goods in transit, you need to know when they will arrive at your location. This visibility gives you better insight to sales, customer service, and logistics stakeholders. Now a microscopic view of the shipment is viewable, all the way from the supplier warehouse, international port, through the freight forwarder, domestic port, local freight company, and eventually to the destination warehouse.

Through this landed cost function, the voyage number can be used to gain access to all details of the product’s journey.

This is especially beneficial for D365 Supply Chain users who are tracking international shipments. The new functionality provides tracking each leg of the goods journey from suppliers’ warehouse to the destination warehouse. From a supply chain perspective, long lead times and the number of steps in a complex delivery process can adversely affect the reliability of information on the product and the supply chain.From a financial perspective, landed costs can represent a significant percentage of unknown liabilities and commitments that won’t be made clear until service vendor invoices are received.These added charges can include any costs required to transfer goods locally or internationally, including brokerage fees, freight insurance documents, inspections duties, taxes, and other fees.Ĭompanies have two major incentives to implement the new Dynamics 365 Landed Cost solution: While in transit, goods accrue several landed costs–or costs added to the purchase price of the supplied and shipped goods. The ability to embed apps in the Dynamics interface provides users with a more with access to existing web applications and a more consistent experience. This newly added solution ratchets up item profitability with detailed shipping cost estimation and provides clear value across the supply chain and finance branches of the organization. The new landed cost capabilities in Dynamics 365 for Supply Chain, part of Microsoft’s 2021 Wave 1 release, gives visibility into the product journey and associated costs. And certainly, much of a product’s journey is paid for while being unseen. In fact, countless things happen on a product’s journey from manufacturing to store shelf that are unseen or unknown until after the product arrives at its destination. Many products travel from places that you have never been to or seen.
