How to capture 3 different AP Invoices to avoid variances against Standard Cost
- Supplier 1 = Goods
- Supplier 2 = Duty and Fees
- Supplier 3 = Freight
How to consolidate this in one place to get better variance analysis.

Hi,
Very common pain point, here’s how D365 F&O handles it cleanly
Best Option, Landed Cost Module (v10.0.18+)
Create a Voyage and attach all 3 invoices (Goods, Duty, Freight)
System apportions costs to items automatically
Compares estimated vs actual and gives you a clean variance report per cost type
Fallback, Misc. Charges on PO
Add Duty & Freight as charge lines on the Goods PO
All 3 invoices tie back to one document
Simple and works without Landed Cost enabled
Tip - Map each cost type to its own GL account. This makes your variance analysis meaningful rather than one big unexplained number.
Landed Cost is definitely the way to go if you’re on a recent version. Happy to help further!
Issue here is all 3 Invoices are from 3 different Suppliers, not one supplier otherwise we would use Duty and Freight option on the PO.
Since it’s 3 different suppliers, this is actually the perfect use case for Landed Cost, that’s exactly what it’s designed for. Each supplier posts their own invoice, and F&O ties it all together under one Voyage, giving you the variance analysis you need.
Might this work for you?
