With the rapid development of the logistics industry, the traditional cost accounting can not satisfy the need of logistics enterprise management, outstanding performance in indirect cost allocation is not reasonable, do not provide accurate comprehensive cost of information, making cost accounting and lose its objectivity and decision-making correlation. This paper will focus on logistics enterprise cost the problems existing in the management, combining the characteristics of logistics enterprises, the activity-based costing method in logistics enterprises in the application are discussed.Keywords: logistics ; cost ; Activity-based costing The activity-based costing method in logistics enterprise application The activity-based costing method viewpoint in the 1940s had produced, but in the 1980s to get the theory identity and business attention, has its particular economic background. The rise of the activity-based costing method based on the following two main reasons: (1) the total cost in product indirect expenses increasing proportion of; (2) the diversity of products. According to the logistics enterprise operating indirect expenses in operating costs and high proportion of logistics enterprise personalized service requirement high characteristic, should consider using the activity-based costing method. 一Meet the activity-based costing method in logistics enterprise application applicability for analysis. 1. Indirect cost ratio is high operating. Indirect charge a high proportion of enterprise USES a single standard of distribution for indirect cost allocation, often caused the product cost calculation results distortion. The activity-based costing method is proposed in view of this situation. Logistics enterprise in the service process, involving the indirect expenses directly forehead far higher than the cost of material, the direct labor forehead. In this case, the activity-based costing method can provide more traditional cost accounting methods more accurate cost data. This also is many western logistics enterprises to adopt the initial motive of activity-based costing. 2. Logistics enterprise personalized service requirement is high. Logistics enterprises provide is invisible service, every customer required services are not the same. The activity-based costing method in product (service) in many varieties and craft and changeful, often adjust production operation of particularly applicable. For logistics enterprise, application of activity-based costing, can not only by area or according to customer, according to transport routes cost calculation, the cost of providing detailed information, satisfy personalized service management requirements; and can assist service pricing and customer profitability analysis, etc.3. Logistics service process can decompose sex. Logistics service process although complex, but can be decomposed into a series of individual activities (), such as the homework can be decomposed into loading and unloading, and storage handling, acceptance, processing and replenishment, and so on, this is logistics enterprise application provides the basis for the activity-based costing method.4. Optimizing enterprise value chain. Logistics enterprise application activity-based costing, can not only provide accurate detailed cost data, and can use the homework cost calculation of logistics cost data provide every link of practice, through analysis of the business process reengineering, remove the value-added homework assignments, optimization, improve the appreciation of enterprise's value chain.5. Improve the management level of the enterprise. Logistics enterprise application activity-based costing, can not only accurately grasp the cost of logistics services, and auxiliary products pricing, customer profitability analysis etc, and can strengthen of the various departments of the performance evaluation, the assessment and analysis of the utilization of the enterprise resources optimizing enterprise resource allocation. Therefore, the activity-based costing method for the application of logistics enterprise, will provide the scientific basis for decision-making and management, improve logistics enterprise management level.二 logistics enterprise application of activity-based costing steps Long-term since, in the actual operation of logistics enterprises, the logistics cost accounting and cost analysis is always a problem bothering logistics managers. Traditional cost accounting cannot provide accurate and detailed cost information, and can't meet the needs of enterprise management and decision-making. Based on the operation of activity-based costing is accounting and control the logistics cost the most effective method. Logistics enterprise application of activity-based costing procedure is as follows: 1. Clear import activity-based costing purpose and cost calculation object. In calculating cost activity-based costing, the first to clear before importing purpose, identify cost calculation object, is to grasp according to customer, by area or press the route computation, still want to master logistics cost is calculated according to the logistics cost service category. 2. Survey logistics enterprise layout, analyzing workflow. The import of activity-based costing solutions with logistics enterprise layout and business processes are closely linked, through the investigation and analysis, can optimize logistics business process, agent and homework assignments for sure cost center lays the foundation, homework cost implementation plan for the design to complete the preparatory work. 3. Define logistics system of homework. From the goods to the customer to deliver the goods, to destination, need to pass through more than one company's many departments, including receiving, packaging, transportation, unpack, delivery and so on many link, each link includes one or more homework. To facilitate the activity-based costing, must deal to define each link assignments. Homework definition is used the key link of activity-based costing, homework excessive number increases cost accounting workload, assignments, small number will affect the accuracy of the cost accounting. Therefore, quantity and homework assignments range of size should be based on the needs of enterprise management on defining.4. Confirm the resources involved in logistics system. These resources include can deal directly to customers or services (cost calculation object) direct resources (direct costs), such as packaging materials, direct artificially, etc.; Also includes most of the indirect materials, indirect artificially, asset depreciation, utilities such as indirect resources (overhead). These indirect resources are different cost share resources, need to target deal or allocated to homework first, and then according to homework assigned cost calculation object motivations.5. Confirm resources and resource allocation, actors to homework. For homework amount of resources, some belong to homework of direct costs, may be directly included in the homework cost; some belong to homework, need indirect expenses according to the resources allocation to homework cost drivers. To order processing operations, for example, order processing assignments may over-consume resources have labour, electricity, telephone communications, office fee etc. Depreciation Responsible for special order processing work personnel's wage and welfare funds can directly into order processing homework; According to electricity electricity is to spread.6. Confirm homework assignments, actors will cost allocations to customers or services (cost calculation object). Homework reason reflects customers or service consumption, according to the logic relationship homework assignments in the library homework cost drivers will cost allocations to customers or service. Such as distribution process of order processing operations, the operation impetuses for order quantity;and storage, picking tour by the cost of production is a box quantity decide; The cost of distribution operations by transportation distance happened transportation and weight (freight quantity) decision.7. Calculation customers or services (cost calculation object) total cost. The homework cost pools assigned to product or service, plus the indirect expenses directly the direct artificially and trace direct materials cost, they can get the total cost of customer or service.Conclusion Accurate calculation enterprise logistics cost itself has no more meaning, use cost information to help enterprise managers decision-making is the essence of accounting. By understanding, analysis and control the logistics cost, and constantly improve the logistics operations, improve logistics operation efficiency. At present the logistics cost management is still stay in cost accounting, cost control lack of dynamics, the activity-based costing method as a kind of advanced thinking methods in the logistics cost management should get attention. By analyzing the activity-based costing method can understand motivation, logistics operations caused logistics cost factor, thus have purpose, a key to seize key logistics elements, effectively control the logistics cost; And you can analyze the ownership of the homework cost to understand the homework, and then improve the efficiency of homework assignments, remove not proliferation. The logistics cost has become enterprise to market competition and maintenance of customer relationships important strategic decision resources to logistics cost of research is to control this strategic resource, utilizing the activity-based costing method accounting logistics cost is to reduce logistics total cost, to increase the effective way of enterprise competitive advantage.
