Landed Costs in Odoo16

In Odoo 16, the landed costs feature allows you to calculate the total cost of a product that includes not only the purchase cost but also additional costs such as transportation, customs fees, insurance, and any other costs associated with bringing the product to its final destination.

These supplementary costs are added to the actual product price to determine the selling price. The method of computing landed cost varies across companies depending on their policies. In the Inventory module, landed costs can be calculated and allocated to each unit of the product to update their selling price.

Inventory => Configuration => Settings
