Advanced and Flexible Landed Cost Management Solution for Dynamics 365 Finance (and AX) is a popular add-on for retail, trade, distribution, and manufacturing organisations importing high volumes of goods globally. The solution significantly reduces the time required to allocate Landed costs (miscellaneous charges*) across inventory and purchase documents. As part of the landed cost management add-on, it now includes another highly requested capability: landed cost planning.
Specifically, it enables Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance users to enter planned charges before the actual landed cost invoices are received. This gives teams tighter budget control and earlier visibility of variances between planned and actual costs.
The new feature allows users to:
- Group purchase orders into a load.
- Configure planned cost parameters (for example, cost types, allocation rules, and posting settings).
- Automatically add planned charges to loads.
- Generate and post documents for planned charges.
- Match planned charges to actual landed cost invoices when they are received.
- Compare planned vs. actual charges and analyse the variance.
- Get clearer estimated item costs and earlier cash-flow visibility for inbound charges.

The solution is also available on Microsoft Appsource. It is also recognised as a “Microsoft Preferred Solution”.
Planning landed cost posting is a small but important enhancement to a typical landed cost allocation process. However, this feature is optional and can be skipped if it is not relevant to your business processes.
