What is Landed Cost in manufacturing accounting?

Landed Cost is the total cost of acquiring an item, including the purchase price, freight charges, customs duties, insurance, and handling fees.

How do I allocate transportation costs across multiple items in Tally?

Configure TallyPrime's 'Track Additional Costs of Purchase' option in F11. During voucher entry, you can distribute freight costs across items based on quantity or value.

How does Tally adjust Bill of Materials (BOM) inventory levels?

When you record a Manufacturing Journal voucher, Tally automatically deducts the required raw materials from your stock based on the preconfigured BOM and adds the finished goods.

1. Setting Up Landed Costs in TallyPrime

To include freight, loading fees, and insurance in your raw material costs:

Go to F11 Features and set Track Additional Costs of Purchase under Inventory to Yes.
Configure your expense ledgers (e.g. Freight Inward) to allocate costs based on item quantities or values.
When recording purchases, enter the additional expense amounts. Tally will distribute these costs across the items, updating your stock valuation.

2. Database Schema for Raw Material Imports

Raw Field	Tally Field ID	Required Detail
Raw Material Name	`STOCKITEMNAME`	Must match raw material stock item in Tally
Customs Value / BCD	`ADDITIONALCOSTS`	Custom duties added to item value
Quantity Received	`ACTUALQTY`	Total raw stock units received
Freight Charge	`EXPENSELEDGER`	Allocated transport expenses

3. Integrating Bill of Materials (BOM) for Costing

A Bill of Materials (BOM) specifies the raw materials, assemblies, and sub-components required to manufacture a finished product. Configure BOM details inside stock item masters:

Select the finished item, enable the BOM option, and enter the raw material components and quantities required for one unit of finished stock. When you record a Manufacturing Journal voucher, Tally will deduct raw materials and calculate the finished item cost automatically.

4. Reconciling Job Work Charges and Sub-contractor Vouchers

If you send raw materials to third-party sub-contractors for processing, track these materials in Tally. Reconcile raw stock issues with finished goods receipts, and group processing fees under **Job Work Outward** accounts.
