## Landed Cost

Landed cost lets you spread additional fees or discounts — such as shipping charges — across the items on a receipt.

### Setting up landed cost types

1. Go to your landed cost settings.
2. Click **Add landed cost**.
3. Give it a name and description.
4. Set the type: **fee** or **discount**.
5. Set the default allocation method: **by value** or **by quantity**.

### Adding landed cost to a receipt

When receiving a purchase order, select the landed cost type and enter the amount. Bookkeep will allocate it across the line items using the allocation method you configured.

**Example:** Receiving 3 units with a $5 shipping fee allocated by quantity adds approximately $1.67 per unit to the cost. If you have multiple line items, the fee spreads proportionally across all of them.

### How landed cost affects the synced cost

The cost pushed to Shopify reflects the **weighted average cost** of the item — your existing inventory cost blended with the new receipt cost (unit cost + landed cost allocation).

**Example:** A unit received at $12 with a landed cost allocation of $2 gives a unit receipt cost of $14. After blending with existing inventory at the weighted average, the cost synced to Shopify might be $12.87.

## Cost History and Audit Trail

Bookkeep keeps a full history of:

- Every cost sync to Shopify, with the value pushed each time
- Supplier cost history — what you paid per unit from each supplier over time
- Landed cost allocations per receipt

You can view this history directly from the purchase order or from the product variant.

## QuickBooks Integration

Once a purchase order is received, you can push it to QuickBooks as a bill directly from Bookkeep. This replaces the manual step of entering supplier bills in QuickBooks after receiving inventory.
