Costing |
Fully integrated with the Sybiz Vision accounting system (Purchase
Orders, Creditors, Inventory and General Ledger), the Import Costing
module is the ideal software solution for Vision customers who need
to automatically calculate the landed costs of imported inventory.
Overview
The Import Costing module is used to construct 'shipments' from
existing purchase orders. A shipment can comprise of a single purchase
order or span multiple purchase orders. These orders can be costed
at any stage by specifYing relevant exchange rates and applying
user defined shipment costs. Based on the newly calculated unit
cost, selling prices can also be optionally set. When the costs
have been finalised and the goods received, the shipment can be
processed to update the Sybiz inventory and purchase order files.
General Ledger postings are automatically set up, and a supplier
invoice is created. A history of each shipment is retained for later
viewing or reporting. A 'sundry shipment' option is included to
allow stock items to be costed and selling prices set in advance
of placing any orders. This is beneficial to importers who need
to finalise prices before receiving orders from customers.
Shipments
| The main features of the shipment
routine are: |
| |
Allows new shipments to be created and existing shipments which
are still 'in transit' to be altered.
|
| |
The shipment routine displays all outstanding orders for a nominated
supplier.
|
| |
Shipments are constructed by selecting all or part of the detail
items from the displayed orders.
|
| |
Shipments are automatically assigned a shipment number and stored
in a new shipment file.
|
| |
Detail lines can be added and removed from shipments at any
time and quantities in a shipment can be modified at any time.
|
| |
Additional details relevant to the shipment, such as due dates,
exchange rates, country of origin and shipping line may also
be entered and stored as a reference with each shipment.

Costing
| The main features of the costing
routine are: |
| |
Allows shipments to be loaded and costed.
|
| |
The shipment is automatically totalled and converted to local
currency at a nominated exchange rate.
|
| |
Up to eight user-defined shipment costs.
|
| |
Cost may be apportioned by quantity, value, weight, volume,
percentage or manually.
|
| |
The ability to perform a 'What if' analysis to see the effect
of changes in exchange rates and shipment costs on the final
landed cost prior to processing.
|
| |
Allows the standard selling prices in Sybiz Vision to be viewed
as well as the margin based on the new landed cost.
|
| |
Costs can be entered as they are received and stored with
the shipment so that the costing can be updated over a period
of time.
|
| |
Selling prices can be updated by a number of methods such as
specifYing a required margin or by maintaining the previous
margin.
|
| |
"Sundry" shipments can be created, allowing new costings
and selling prices to be calculated, for importers requiring
"previews" of shipments before purchase orders are
placed.
