P/O Product Landing Factors (PO13_POPIF)

The P/O Product Landing Factors (ibis_popif.po13) table allows you to define the additional costs that are used in determining the replacement and landed costs for product supplier records. For additional information, please see the Replacement/Landed Cost Calculation topic.

Note: Products can have multiple GTINs assigned to them in the Product Pack Information (ibis_im23) table. The landing factors assigned to the product only affect the GTIN flagged as the default costing record.

The following list defines every field available in the P/O Product Landing Factors (popif) table in alphabetical order:

  • Company – the company field is available when you create a new customer record. The company defaults to the company assigned to your user id in the Session Parameters view. You can change the default company during the customer creation process only. Once the customer record is created, the company to which the record is associated displays in the General section (at the top of the view).

  • Created By – displays the name of the user who created the record you are viewing or maintaining. May not be overridden.

  • Created On – displays the date on which the record that you are creating or maintaining was created. May not be overridden. May also represent the creation date of the records you are attempting to retrieve.

  • Landing Factor – enter or select from the lookup a landing factor code. This field is validated against the P/O Landing Factors (ibis_polf.po09) table. Landing factors are add on costs that can be applied at the supplier/product level, in P/O In Transit Receiving Entry (ibis_po63) and in P/O Receipt and In Transit Entry (ibis_po60) for the purpose of accurately reflecting the purchasing cost of a product.

    • Landing factors can be assigned at the product level in PO13 to reflect predictable add on expenses from this supplier for this product. For example, if the supplier charges a specific freight or packaging rate for the product, assigning a landing factor to the product/supplier record with a rate results in a more accurate replacement cost and landed cost when receipts from the supplier are processed.

  • Modification Counter – this field is not maintainable. The date and time the record was last modified.

  • Modified By – this field is not maintainable. The user or system process that last modified the record.

  • Modified On – this field is not maintainable. The date on which the record was last modified.

  • Product - enter or select from the lookup a product code. This field is validated against the Products (ibis_ici1.im13) table.

  • Rate in % or $ Value – enter the rate in dollar or percentage.

    • Note: If the landing factor is set up in the P/O Landing Factors (ibis_polf.po09) table with a calculation method of Value's %, the entry made her must be a percent. For all other calculation methods (cube's rate, weight's rate and unit's amount), enter a dollar value in this field.

    • For calculation methods cube and weight, the rate is applied to the weights and measurements entered in Product Pack Information (ibis_im23). Both metric and US cube and weight measurements are stored, but the rate is applied to the US or metric measurement based on the suppliers default measuring units assigned in the P/O Suppliers (ibis_pos.po11) table.

  • Supplier - enter or select from the lookup a supplier code. This field is validated against the P/O Suppliers (ibis_pos.po11) table.
