Landed costs include all charges associated with a good transfer.

Landed cost includes = Cost of product + Shipping + Customs + Risk

All of these components might not be applicable in every shipment, but relevant components must be considered as a part of the landed cost. We have to identify the landed cost to decide the sale price of the product because it will impact on company profits.

Here is how to automate this process on Odoo.
