  • Landed costs allocation account: G/L account for clearing non-customs expenditures (reposted through a landed costs document) between the A/P invoice (service type) and the landed costs document

  • Customs allocation account: G/L account for clearing customs expenditures (reposted through a landed costs document) between the A/P invoice (service type) and the landed costs document
