The PO Footer contains total amounts for weight, freight, duty, discount and taxes.
Weight – The total weight of the items on the purchase order. It is calculated from the extended weight of all items on the PO, but you can override this value if required.
Landed Costs
Landed costs can be added to a purchase order when receiving. The fields are greyed out until a receive quantity is entered.
Vendor Freight – The freight charge that the vendor will include on their invoice. If “Include vendor freight in landed cost” is on in Company Settings/Purchase Order then this cost will get included in the cost of the items received. If it is not on, then the freight amount will get posted to freight expense.
Landed Freight – The estimated freight that gets charged by another vendor that gets included in the cost of the items received. This field is only editable if at least one item of the Issued PO has received quantity entered. When you enter the amount to the landed freight field, you get prompted for how the freight should be distributed to each PO line. The choices are Quantity, Weight or Cost. You could then edit each line of the PO after this distribution, if required.
Landed Duty -The estimated duty that gets charged by another vendor that gets included in the cost of the items received. This field is only editable if at least one item of the Issued PO has received quantity entered. When you enter the amount to the landed duty field, you get prompted for how the duty should be distributed to each PO line. The choices are Quantity, Weight or Cost. You could then edit each line of the PO after this distribution, if required.
Discount – Enter a percentage value to calculate a reduction of the PO amount. The discount is based on the pre-tax total amount, after any discount amounts on individual lines are determined.
Subtotal – The sum of all items and freight, less discounts and before tax.
Tax 1 – 4 – Total tax for each of up to 4 jurisdictions assigned to the order from the Sales Taxes tab.
Total – Grand total of the order, in the currency of the vendor. If the currency is something other than base currency, the exchange rate is also displayed here.
The purchase order creation date, time and user initials, and the last modified date, time and user initials are also displayed for reference.
