In a previous post we set up our QuickBooks Enterprise file to calculate Landed Cost, or the cost to get an inventory item to a recipient’s door. Landed cost is important, because it helps you understand the total cost of your items that are shipped, instead of only calculating the cost of creating the item. As any manufacturer or distributor knows, knowing your COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) is a critical need for business planning and pricing. If you need a refresher on how to turn on Landed Cost, please see the previous article below, then carry on with our post.

Continuing our thread of improvements to this year’s version of QuickBooks Enterprise, today we are talking about the brand new Landed Cost feature for QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum tier. This new feature is available in both the US and Canadian versions of QuickBooks Enterprise.
