| Freight Invoicing Parameters (fmfri0100m000)Use this session to set the parameters for
the Freight Invoicing module. These parameters control the way this module works. Note If the invoicing
method is Freight Costs (Update Allowed), you can invoice the customer with the difference between the
actual freight costs from the carrier invoice and the freight costs previously
invoiced to the customer if this difference exceeds the percentage entered in
the If greater than field and/or the amount entered in
the If amount greater than field. Effective Date effective date. In the actual set,
or parameter set, the effective date field is empty, but the effective date is
taken as the default value in the Description field. In parameters sets
that precede the actual set, the effective date is displayed in the effective
date field. If you make a change
in the actual set, the changed set becomes the new actual set. If greater than This parameter applies if the invoicing method is Freight Costs (Update Allowed). If the difference between the estimated freight
costs and the actual freight costs from the carrier invoice is greater than the
percentage entered in this field, the business partner can be invoiced with the
difference. If amount greater than This parameter applies if the invoicing method is Freight Costs (Update Allowed). If the difference between the estimated freight
costs and the actual freight costs from the carrier invoice is greater than the
amount entered in this field, the business partner can be invoiced with the
difference. If amount greater than The currency in which the amount is expressed. The default
currency is taken from the company data. Log Freight Invoicing History If this check box is selected, freight invoicing
history is maintained. You can view freight invoicing history in the Freight Invoicing Information History (fmfri5500m000) session. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to History data. Recalculate for Shipment Differences The Recalculate for Shipment Differences parameter
controls the way in which freight invoice amounts of freight order lines are
recalculated. Freight invoice amounts may have to be recalculated if the
shipped quantity of goods is less than the ordered quantity for which the
freight invoice amount is calculated, or if an over-delivery has occurred. During loading,
transporting, and unloading, the quantity of the goods that must be transported
can change due to a variety of reasons, such as damage during loading or
insufficient transport capacity. Similarly, over-deliveries may occur. For
example, if a customer orders 14 pieces of a given article and the article is
delivered in boxes containing 15 pieces. In all such cases, an organization
must be enabled to recalculate invoice amounts. The following
recalculation settings are available: Automatic If the invoicing method is Client Rates, the Invoice Amount is
automatically recalculated. If the invoicing method is Freight Costs or Freight Costs (Update Allowed), the estimated costs of the load or shipment created
from the freight order line are automatically recalculated, and the Invoice Amount field in the Freight Invoicing Information (fmfri0110m000) session is updated. Manual If the invoicing method is Client Rates, the RecalculateInvoice Amount check box of the Freight Invoicing Information (fmfri0110m000) session is automatically selected.
Therefore, for the best results you must recalculate the invoice amount, but
you can choose to manually change the invoice amount or not to change the
invoice amount. If the invoicing method is Freight Costs or Freight Costs (Update Allowed), the Recalculate for Invoice Amount check box in the shipment line is selected, and this triggers
the selection of the RecalculateInvoice Amount check box of the Freight Invoicing Information (fmfri0110m000) session.
If the Invoice Amount Binding check box of the Freight Invoicing Information (fmfri0110m000) session is selected, the parameter value
is ignored. You cannot perform recalculation in this case. | |
