Hi

I have created a Service Type product for International Shipping Costs. I have marked it as a Landed Cost product, 'Is a Landed Cost' is set to TRUE.
In the Accounting Tab, I have added a GL account I want to use for these international shipping costs.

When I create a Landed cost journal and add that product to the journal the GL account does not default to the one set against the product form.

Odoo defaults to the correct GL account when creating a vendor bill.



How do I get Odoo to default the correct GL account for my landed costs journal?

Hi,

This is expected behavior in Odoo. When you add a product to a Landed Cost record, Odoo pulls the GL account from the Product Category's accounting configuration, not from the individual product's expense account field (unlike vendor bills which do use the product-level account).
Step-by-Step Solution:

Since changing your existing product category might affect other products, the safest approach is to create a dedicated category for landed cost products.

Step 1: Enable Automated Inventory Valuation

    Go to Accounting → Configuration → Settings
    Find Automatic Accounting feature →Enable it.
    Save

Step 2: Create a New Product Category

    Go to Inventory → Configuration → Product Categories
    Click New
    Enter the category name: Landed cost
    Find the Inventory Valuation field
    Change it from Manual to Automated
    Once you set it to Automated, additional accounting fields will appear

The accounting field should now be visible:

    Stock Input Account - Change this to: 50000 International Shipping Costs (your desired GL account)
    Click Save

Step 4: Assign Your Product to the New Category

    Go to your Landed cost product
    In the General Information tab
    Change the Product Category field to the newly created Landed Costs category
    Click Save

    Now, Odoo will default to the correct GL account for your landed costs entries which will be taken from Stock Input Account of your new product category. This method works in odoo18, may change in odoo19.


Hope it helps
