Freight and customs, ordered with the goods and landed on their cost
Declare the cost items a product always carries, and confirming its purchase order raises the freight order too - then the landed cost picks the amounts straight off the vendor bills.
Purchase and Track Landed Costs (technical name to_purchase_landed_cost) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for buyer, import or logistics coordinator, cost accountant, controller.
At a Glance
The facts of Purchase and Track Landed Costs, version 1.0.1, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Four screens, in the order the shipment moves.
The product says what it always costs to land
Freight, customs, insurance - each with its own item and an auto-purchase flag.
The order plans them
Planned cost lines above; below, once the landed cost is validated, the original value, what was added and the new value.
The order itself is unchanged
Same goods, same receipt - plus buttons to the cost purchase order, the bills and the landed costs.
The landed cost writes itself
Each line carries the invoice it came from, so an auditor can go from the valuation back to the forwarder's document.
What You Get
Cost items declared on the product, with auto-purchase per item
Planned landed costs on the purchase order, dated with the order
Confirming raises the cost purchase orders, grouped by vendor and currency
The landed cost pulls its lines from the cost vendor bills
A warning while cost invoices are still outstanding, so nothing is valued too early
Stat buttons from the order to its cost orders, its bills and its landed costs

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
By quantity, by weight, by value - that stays the standard landed-cost choice.
The cost purchase order is a normal order, billed and paid as usual.
Confirming refuses to raise an order for a cost product without a vendor price - deliberately, because a blind order helps nobody.
Landed costs apply to the layers Odoo lets them apply to; a shipment consumed before the freight arrives is the standard limitation.
With manual valuation there is nothing to adjust - that is Odoo's rule, not this app's.
Works Well With
Apps from the same stack, built to fit this one:
Stock & Journal Links
Following the adjustment entries back to the receipt - and a dependency of this app.
