Sync additional (landing) costs to QuickBooks Online

Overview

Find out how to sync additional (landing) costs to QuickBooks Online

An additional landing cost (or additional cost) is an additional cost of purchasing a good, such as customs or freight fees.

After applying or editing an additional cost, you must sync the transaction to QuickBooks Online. Additional cost transactions debit your current asset account for inventory and credit the chosen expense account (find out more about setting up additional cost categories):

  1. From the Accounting menu in the navigation, open your QuickBooks Online integration.

  2. Open the Purchases tab and Landed Costs subtab.

  3. Either

    • to sync all new additional costs, select the checkbox in the header row, or

    • to sync selected additional costs, select the checkbox for the landed costs to sync.

  4. Select Upload (or Upload All).

Your additional cost transactions sync to QuickBooks Online as journal entries. Each journal is given a unique reference. Each reference, shown in the Reference column on the Purchases > Landed Costs tab of your QuickBooks Online integration dashboard, is a combination of (a) the relevant purchase order’s reference and (b) a unique serial number.

Note that, if the reference on the dashboard exceeds 21 characters, it will be truncated to 21 characters in QuickBooks Online.
