Function: Freight Order Release for Invoicing
The goal of this main business function is to prepare freight
orders for invoicing or to consult invoicing information linked to freight
order lines.
Process: Freight Order Release for Invoicing (code:
MFM03a)
The purpose of this procedure is to release freight orders for
invoicing. This can be done by order line, order or batch of
orders.
Freight invoices may be generated for external as well as
internal business partners.
Assumptions:
- Executing this process only makes sense if a company has
decided to (separately) charge customers for freight services rendered. Such
freight services mainly consist of delivering the required items to the right
addresses.
- If freight is handled as an unpaid service to customers, or if
freight expenses have already been included in the sales prices, usually only
freight cost calculation takes place and this procedure becomes
obsolete.
