| Carrier Freight Rate Matrices (tdpcg0130m320)Use this session to view, enter, and
maintain freight rate matrices for the Carrier Freight Rate matrix type. Matrix Type Defines the type of a matrix definition and is linked to a set
of matrix attributes. The following matrix types are available in Pricing: - Sales Price
- Sales Line Discount
- Sales Total Discount
- Purchase Price
- Purchase Line Discount
- Purchase Total Discount
- Transfer Price
- Line Promotions

- Carrier Freight Rate
Each type has its own a selection of attributes. For a matrix
type, the combination of a maximum of six attributes identifies the matrix
definition. Freight Rate Matrix The number of the freight rate matrix. The sequence number for the freight rate matrix, which is
automatically incremented by one each time you specify the relevant freight
rate matrix. Description The description of the freight rate matrix. Effective Date The first date on which the freight rate matrix is valid. The
default effective date is equal to the system date. Expiry Date The last date the freight rate matrix is valid. If this field
is not filled, the freight rate matrix is infinitely valid. Freight Rate Book An entity in which you can store freight rate information that
is valid for a given period of time. A freight rate book includes the following elements: - A freight rate book
header, which contains the code, rating method, distance unit, and free
distance.
- One or more freight
rate book lines, which contain the freight rates for a combination of
attributes such as carrier and service level.
The freight rates specified in a freight rate book are subject
to a minimum or maximum weight, distance, or additional rate value. For example, if a
sales order matches the attributes of the current freight rate matrix, the
freight rates listed in the freight rate book(s) referenced by the current
freight rate book will be used to calculate the freight costs of the sales
order. Rate Basis Number A code in LN representing a combination of a freight class, transport means
group, transport type, and/or planning group. In Freight, rate basis numbers are used to determine the carrier rates for the following entities: - Shipments
- Loads
- Sales order lines
- Sales quotation lines
A rate basis number is allocated to a shipment, load, order
line, or quotation line if the freight class, transport means group, transport
type and/or planning group of the shipment or load match those defined for the
rate basis number. In Pricing, freight rate books are linked to rate basis
numbers. A rate basis number allocated to a shipment, load, and so on, will in
turn point to a freight rate book from where freight rates can be picked up. Invoice-from Business Partner The business partner that sends invoices to your organization.
This usually represents a supplier's accounts receivable department. The
definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, invoicing method
and frequency, information about your organization's credit limit, the terms
and method of payment, and the related pay-to business partner. Ship-to BP The business partner to which you ship the ordered goods. This
usually represents a customer's distribution center or warehouse. The
definition includes the default warehouse from which you send the goods, the
carrier who carries out the transport, and the related sold-to business
partner. Ship-from BP The business partner that ships the ordered goods to your
organization. This usually represents a supplier's distribution center or
warehouse. The definition includes the default warehouse at which you want to
receive the goods and if you want to inspect the goods, the carrier that takes
care of the transport, and the related buy-from business partner. Shipping Office A department that is responsible for the organization of
transportation for one or more warehouses. When goods are moved from or to a
warehouse, the responsible shipping office plans the transportation of these
goods or subcontracts the transportation of the goods. In direct delivery
scenarios, the shipping office provides planning or transport subcontracting
services for external suppliers or customers. In Freight, a shipping office plays a key role in load building and
freight order clustering. Freight orders are grouped by shipping office. The
groups of freight orders by shipping office are used by the load building
engine to build shipments and loads, or by the freight order clustering engine
to build freight order clusters. Price List List of default prices and discounts for customers and
suppliers. You can link price lists to items and item groups, and to sold-to
and buy-from business partners. Payment Method The way in which the payment (purchase invoice) or the direct
debit (sales invoice) takes place. The payment method defines details such as,
the maximum amount, the type of due date, if foreign currencies are allowed,
and which details must be printed on the report. These details are default values that you can change on the
order or invoice as necessary. Payment Terms Agreements about the way in which invoices are paid. The payment terms include: - The period within which invoices must be paid.
- The discount granted if an invoice is paid within a given
period
The payment terms allow you to calculate: - The date on which the payment is due
- The date on which the discount periods expire
- The discount amount
Price Group A group of items to which the same pricing characteristics
apply. | |
