How does Endless calculate unit cost and landed cost on a cost estimate?

On a cost estimate, the unit cost is what one unit costs from the supplier, and the landed cost is the unit cost plus freight and duties.

Materials, Labor, and Packaging are an optional breakdown of the unit cost. Endless adds them and shows the total next to the Unit cost field. It does not overwrite the unit cost with that total. If the two differ, the estimate dialog says “The breakdown total does not match the unit cost” and offers “Use total” to copy the total into Unit cost. In the cost estimates table, select a unit cost to see its breakdown and whether it matches.

Landed cost is Unit cost + Freight + Duties, all per unit. Endless calculates it only when all three are recorded. If any is blank, the landed cost is blank. Enter 0 for freight or duties that do not apply. Select a landed cost in the table to see the parts and the calculated total.

Unit cost must be above zero when entered. Materials, Labor, Packaging, Freight, and Duties must be zero or more, and an estimate needs at least one amount.

Endless keeps product costs to four decimal places. A value with more decimals is rounded to four. Screens show at least two decimals and up to four, depending on the values. The product export shows Default Unit Cost, Default Landed Cost, Default Dropship Unit Cost, MSRP, and MAP to two decimal places, so leave those columns out when you import an export back.

All product costs, cost estimates, and purchase order costs use your company’s currency. Convert supplier quotes to your company’s currency before you enter them. Contact Endless support to discuss supplier costs in other currencies.
