To help you track costs and capture valuation, your inventory items must carry any added costs, such as freight, physical handling, insurance, and transportation that you incur when purchasing or selling the items. For purchases, the landed cost of a purchased item consists of the vendor’s purchase price and all additional direct item charges that can be assigned to individual receipts or return shipments. For sales, knowing the cost of shipping sold items can be as vital to your company as knowing the landed cost of purchased items.

This release wave brings you more flexibility on how and when to post item charges. Let’s illustrate with a scenario:

Item variants are a great way to keep your list of items under control, especially if you have a large number of items that are almost identical and vary only in color, for example. Rather than setting up each variant as a separate item, you can set up one item and then specify the various colors as variants of the item.

With this release wave, administrators can require that users specify the variant in documents and journals for items that have variants.

To activate the capability, navigate to the Inventory Setup page and select the Variant Mandatory if Exists field.
