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.
