QuoteCQ: How to Configure Landed Cost Drivers and Auto-Select Logic

This guide walks you through setting up landed cost options and customizing Auto-Select behavior to better reflect your pricing strategy.

✅ Step 1: Configure Landed Cost Calculation Type

  • Go to ConfigurationCosting Settings (or your system’s equivalent section).

  • Select how you want to calculate landed cost and TCO:

    • Percentage

    • Total per Unit

    • Total per Order

These settings impact how added costs (like tariffs and freight) are applied to supplier pricing.

📊 Step 2: Set Landed Cost Drivers

Be sure the following fields are populated in your part data or supplier quote:

  • Tariff

  • Country of Origin (COO)

  • HTS Code

  • ECCN

These values are now used in landed cost and TCO calculations to give you a more complete pricing picture.

⚡ Step 3: Configure Auto-Select Behavior

  • In the same configuration area, find Auto-Select Settings.

  • Choose which priority the system should use:

    • Lower Landed Cost Unit Price

    • Lower Landed Cost Total Price

The system will use your selection to automatically choose the best pricing for each line item, based on the calculated landed cost.
