LandedCost AI
What the imported material actually cost you, not what the invoice said.
What it produces
- Landed cost per unit, with every component itemised
- Variance against standard cost, previous shipment, supplier, route and Incoterm
- A reconciliation proving the components sum to the total
A worked example
RM-8821 — ₹247.60/KG landed, 11.4% over standard
material ₹198.00 · freight ₹21.40 · duty ₹19.80 · CHA and port ₹6.10
detention ₹2.30 — avoidable
standard cost ₹222.20 → variance ₹25.40/KG on 18,000 KG
= ₹4,57,200 above standard on this shipment

Why it is hard
The part that is not a report.
What an imported material cost is not what the invoice said. Freight, insurance, duty, port and clearing charges arrive later, as shipment-level lump sums, and somebody has to decide which line each one belongs to. That decision is where the error lives. Spread ocean freight by invoice value rather than by weight and a heavy cheap material looks cheap while a light expensive one looks expensive — and both answers look completely ordinary on a screen. Only one of them is right, and standard costs get restated on the strength of it.

Said before you ask
What is not finished.
BETA rather than AVAILABLE. Per-line gross weight and volume now exist and import through the purchase-orders template, so freight allocates by weight rather than falling back to value — the precise error the module exists to prevent. The fallback chain still runs where a line has no weight, and it names the basis it used on every row, so a tenant who imports without weights gets a correct answer computed a worse way and is told so rather than left to assume.
Where this sits
One of 16 modules, on one engine.
LandedCost AI reads the same reconciled data as everything else SIAARU runs — connected read-only to your ERP, scored on the way in, measured in SQL. There is a free calculator that does the allocation for one shipment, free and needing no account, if you would rather see the arithmetic before you see the product. How that engine works is a page of its own. The other 15 modules, each with the state it is really in and the reason where it is not switched on, are on the module list; what this one costs, and what it costs beside the rest, is on the pricing page.
