P/O Supplier Landing Factors (PO11_POSF)

The following list defines every field available in the P/O supplier landing factors (posf) table in alphabetical order:

• Company - the company field is available when you create a new PO supplier landing factor 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 creation process only. Once the 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 - displays the 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 Intransit to Stock Receiving Entry (ibis_po63) and in P/O Receipt and In-Transit Entry (ibis_po60) for the purpose of accurately reflecting the true purchasing cost of a product.

    Note: Landing Factors can also be assigned at the product level in P/O Purchasing Information (ibis_popi.po13) to reflect predictable add on expenses from the supplier a product. For example, if the supplier charges a specific freight or packaging rate for a product, assigning a landing factor in P/O Purchasing Information (ibis_po13) with that rate results in a more accurate replacement cost and landed cost when receipts from that supplier are processed.

  • Once a factor is entered, the following information related to the landing factor from the P/O Landing Factors (ibis_polf.po09) table automatically displays:
    • Currency
    • Calculation Method
    • Cost Base
    • Dutiable
    • Include in FOB Cost

• Landing Factor Rate - displays the rate assigned to the landing factor. You can enter an amount or a percent into this field.
  • Note: If the landing factor is set up in P/O Landing Factors (ibis_polf.po09) with a calculation method of value's %, the entry made here is a percent. For all other calculation methods (cube's rate, weight's rate and unit's mmt), enter a dollar rate in this field.

  • For calculation methods cube and weight, the rate is applied to the cube/weight measurement entered on the Pack Information folder of P/O Purchasing Information (ibis_po13). Both metric and US cube and weight measurements are stored, but the rate is applied to the US or metric measurement based on the supplier's default measuring units assigned in the P/O Suppliers (ibis_pos.po11) table.
