## Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Oracle ERP Cloud data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

## Worked example

30D avg landed cost moved from $32.40 to $35.80 (+10.5%). Hits the alert. Drill: freight component up 18% (carrier rate increases); duty up 3%; purchase price flat. Action: pricing review needed to pass through cost increase.

## Reconciling against the vendor's own dashboard

**Where to look in Oracle ERP Cloud:**

> **Cost Management → Landed Cost Management → Manage Charges**
> **OTBI → Cost Management Real Time**

**Cross-connector reconciliation:**

Internal Oracle metric.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**LCM module required?**
Yes for full landed cost. Without LCM the card sums purchase price only.

**Multi-currency import?**
Each cost component translated to ledger currency.
