Landed Cost Estimates vs Actuals

The variance worklist of the landed-cost discipline (§4.5): every landed-cost row still standing at an estimate, the receipt it belongs to, and its age — and, once an adjustment has landed, the variance between what was estimated and what the actual bill said. Two uses. As a chase list, it is where freight and duty invoices are pursued before estimates go stale: anything older than the age your company allows (thirty days by default) is flagged. As a learning instrument, the variance column teaches your estimators: a forwarder whose estimates are always ten percent light is a fact about your templates, and this report is where you fix them.
