Oracle Landed Cost Managment:
=========================
Oracle’s Landed Cost Management application is a new product released on EBS R.12.1.Landed Cost Management enables organizations to gain insight into all of the “real”costs associated with acquiring products including broker, terminal, insurance, and transportation fees as well as duties and taxes. These costs are initially estimated andupdated with actual amounts as they become known allocating them to shipments,orders, and products. Cost methods and inventory valuations are accurately maintained providing better visibility into an individual product’s profitability and an organization’soutstanding exposure. This data provides better insight for product forecasting andbudgeting and provides clear evidence of the detailed accumulation of expenses for regulatory requirements and reporting. Oracle Landed Cost Management (LCM) gives organizations financial visibility into their extended supply chain costs, including transportation and handling fees, insurance, duties, and taxes. Since these types of charges can compose a significant portion (upwards of 40%) of an items' cost, it is important to accurately incorporate them into overall financial processes and decision making activities. Oracle LCM initially estimates these costs and later updates them with actual amounts as they become known, allocating them to shipments, orders, and products. This allows companies to maximize profits, improve visibility into outstanding liabilities, enhance competitiveness, and ensure that complex trade activities are compliant with regulatory mandates
