I am using Odoo 18 and managing inventory valuation for imported goods. I want to accurately distribute additional costs (such as shipping, customs, and insurance) across my product costs using the Landed Costs feature.
I have already:
Enabled Landed Costs in Inventory > Configuration > Settings. Created a Vendor Bill for extra costs (e.g., shipping fees).
Defined a Landed Cost type and assigned a cost split method (By Weight, By Volume, By Quantity, or By Current Cost).
However, I am unsure how Landed Costs affect accounting and stock valuation and whether it updates the cost of goods sold (COGS) automatically.
See this answer: https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/v16-landed-cost-best-practice-227690 and the documentation: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/applications/inventory_and_mrp/inventory/product_management/inventory_valuation/landed_costs.html
