    Total Landed Cost The landed cost is the total cost of purchasing, transporting, warehousing and distributing raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods. This list of components that are needed to determine landed costs include the original cost of the item, all brokerage and logistics fees, complete shipping costs, customs duties, tariffs, taxes, insurance, currency conversion, crating costs, and handling fees. Not all of these components are present in every shipment, but all that are must be considered part of the landed cost.

    The Landed Cost Challenge Top IssuesWhich is the best location, country or vendor to source my product from?What is the true total price of sourcing from vendor A vs. Vendor B?What are the risks and costs associated with sourcing from different locations? What are the major contributing costs at the product level?Are there hidden costs in sourcing that makes my product less profitable?How can I reduce my operational costs related to sourcing and maximize my margins?What is the impact of changes in global parameters such as fuel prices on my product cost?How can I monitor my cost performance and results over a period of time and take decisive action to reduce sourcing cost while increasing product profitability?

    2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.*

    Why is it difficult to calculate Landed Costs?

    Lack of confidence in landed cost analysisLower adoption levels due to lack of analysis and decision making capabilitiesLack of integrated reporting Difficult to identify trends and hidden cost elements No suggestive reporting to support proactive decision makingInsufficient reporting capabilities Issues with accurately extracting and synchronizing costs distributed across multiple systemsSeparate data sources for inventory, transportation and global trade systems

    Distributed source systemsLack of granular cost model which truly captures all cost elementsLocal issues and variability in cost modelsInability to accurately aggregate and allocate shared costs to products Lack of accurate cost model No assurance of data completeness or inclusion of all relevant dataChallenging to validate data accuracy

    2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.*

    Paradigm Shift for Total Landed Cost TraditionalProduct cost is indicator of total cost No view of product profitability TMS optimization to streamline logistics costs Shared and overhead costs are not consideredERP is the only source of cost Information Labor intensive analysis using spreadsheets provide limited and out of date visibility of true landed costsNeedsProduct cost is only a fraction of the total landed costNeed of an accurate cost model across the entire supply chain to support key business decisions Important to understand cost structure and uncover hidden cost componentsAbility to allocate shared costs to products to find out accurate product cost Multi-dimensional view of costs by regions, vendorCost trends Integrated cost model which includes costs from multiple systems and global environments

    ***Revolutionizing the way customers buy and consumer SAP solutions

    *SAP and our Global Partner Ecosystem offer a comprehensive portfolio of modular, out-of-the box solutions that meet specific business needs. Each RDS is comprised of four basic building blocks: 1. Software that is pre-configured so you can address your most urgent business processes fast. 2. Content in the form of SAP best practices, predefined templates and tools to make implementations smoother and solution adoption easier3. End-user enablement such as guides and educational material to speed up adoption4. And a fixed scope implementation services that provide maximum predictability and lowers risk******This solution supports multiple source system scenarios however any scenario which uses non-SAP source systems will require licensee to perform any Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) programs to provide data. Creation of the ETL templates can also be supported by SAP with additional T&M consulting.** These cost sub-elements are representative. The actual data model can vary depending on the specific cost structure being extracted from the source systems.
