Landed Cost and GRN Variance

Landed costs​

Freight, duty, and handling charges rarely arrive on the same document as the goods themselves. Landed costs let you spread those extra charges across a GRN's lines and update each item's cost.

  1. Go to Inventory Operations → Landed costs and create a new document.
  2. Choose one or more GRNs to allocate the charges against, plus an optional supplier reference.
  3. Add charge lines — freight, duty, insurance — and choose an allocation basis: value, quantity, weight, volume, or an equal split.
  4. Use Preview allocation to check the amounts before committing.
  5. Post to lock the document and apply the cost update, following each item's costing method.

GRN variance alerts​

When you post a GRN linked to a purchase invoice, Biznsbook compares the quantities and prices between the two. If the difference exceeds your company's tolerance (5% by default):

  • The GRN list shows a Variance badge.
  • The GRN's detail page shows a Variance tab with the line-level differences.
  • Managers can review all of them on the GRN variance report.

:::tip Adjusting the tolerance Go to Inventory Settings → Inventory setup to change the GRN variance percentage your company allows before a flag is raised. :::
