Vendor
Field on the left: vendor code Field on the right: vendor name Specify either the vendor code or the vendor name. The remaining field is filled automatically. Note If you create one landed costs document when you import goods from several vendors, the field on the left displays the string '*******' and the field on the right displays `Different Vendors`. For example, in consolidation purchasing, a single container is used for importing goods from several vendors to decrease import costs. End of the note. You can view the vendors selected for the document on the Vendors* tab.

Broker
Field on the left: broker code Field on the right: broker name Specify either the code or the name of the broker hired to assist with the import and customs procedures. The remaining field is filled automatically. Note You define brokers as other regular vendors in the business partner master data. End of the note.

Currency
Displays the vendor currency and the exchange rate used for the document. You must enter an exchange rate; otherwise, you are not able to continue recording the landed costs document. After you specify an exchange rate, you can choose either the vendor currency or your local currency. Your selection determines the currency in which monetary values are displayed in the document, that is, transport costs or customs, for example.

Closed Document
Select when you finish processing a landed costs document and, if required, clear it as long as the journal entry for the document’s landed costs has not been created.
