Landed cost & additional costs

Landed cost is what a unit of stock truly costs once freight and other charges are folded in. Ashicore allocates by-value additional costs across your material lines so inventory is valued at its real delivered cost — not just the sticker price.

The raw line cost is order quantity × unit cost. Landed cost adds each line’s share of the distributed additional costs, then divides by the stocking quantity to get the landed cost per stock unit — the number inventory, tracked lots, and recipes are valued at.

1
Material subtotal
The sum of (order quantity × unit cost) across all lines.
2
Distributable pool
Only by-value costs are allocated. Not-distributed costs are excluded here.
3
Allocate by share of value
Each line gets (line subtotal ÷ material subtotal) × the distributable pool. Bigger lines absorb more freight.
4
Landed per stock unit
(line subtotal + allocated) ÷ stocking quantity. This becomes the line’s landed cost per stock unit and, for lot-tracked items, the lot cost at receipt.

Landed cost isn’t frozen at receipt. Change a by-value cost or a line price on a received order and Ashicore appends a revaluation that rebases on-hand tracked lots from this order to the new cost, and recomputes the item’s running cost.
