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 Advanced Business Manager 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.
