This parameter is used during the partial receipts of product orders for which the landed costs are managed by a cost structure.
In this case, it is used to determine whether the amount of costs of the cost structure must be determined by:

  • Recalculation based on the set of criteria having an impact on the calculation of costs (including quantity, weight and volume).
    Specificity linked to the calculation of "Adjusted ex-tax amounts": when the amounts have potentially been adjusted on the order, the "Adjusted ex-tax amounts" are prorated with respect to the received quantity on the receipt.
  • Pro rata of initially calculated amounts (or else the adjusted amounts) in the order, with respect to the quantity actually received. The calculation of costs is not impacted by the potential modification of "Weights" and "Volumes".

SEEINFO The choice of the method influences the calculation of the landed cost amount when the costs it includes are of the following types: "Fixed amount", "Amount by fixed bracket", or "Schedule".

For example:
On receiving an order line for a product linked to a cost structure including a "Fixed amount" type cost.
The order has been made for 10 units and the fixed amount is of €20.
If only 6 units of this order have been received, the fixed amount for the cost will be:

  • €20 in case of recalculation,
  • €12 in case of a pro rata.
