| | Authorized excess transportation costs (AETC)To control transport costs, various organizations require their
suppliers to ask for approval if the transport costs exceed the agreed terms.
The supplier is to request a customer authorization number. When granted by the customer, the supplier specifies the
customer authorization number on the load. The supplier also specifies a reason code in the Reason field and a reference to the party responsible
for the excess costs in the Responsibility field. The responsible party can be,
for example, the carrier that performs the actual transport. Note This applies to Freight and Warehousing loads. The values specified for the Freight load is copied to
the Warehousing load and
vice versa. To specify a customer authorization number, reason, and
responsible party on the load Specify a tracking number of type Customer Authorization Number in one of these tracking number fields of the
load: - Carrier Tracking Number
- Tracking Number
- Tracking Number 1
- Tracking Number 2
Adding a tracking number of type Customer Authorization Number is allowed in only one of these fields. After
adding the customer authorization number, the Reason and Responsibility fields become available. - Specify a reason code of type Customer Authorization Number in the Reason field.
- In the Responsibility field, specify the party responsible
for the excess transportation costs.
Setup For the ship-to business partner role of the customer who
requires AETC authorization from their suppliers, select the Authorize Excess Transportation Costs check box in
the Ship-to Business Partners (tccom4511m000) session to specify that the business
partner requires excess authorization numbers. When this business partner is specified on the load, the Authorize Excess Transportation Costs check box on
the load is selected. - For the applicable order types, select the Single Ship-to Code per Load check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. This is to prevent multiple shipments
with different settings for the Authorize Excess Transportation Costs check box from
being combined in a load.
In the Reason field of the Reasons (tcmcs0105m000) session, define reason codes of type Customer Authorization Number. After specifying a reason code of type Customer Authorization Number, the Excess Transportation Reason field is
available. In the Excess Transportation Reason field, specify a
transportation cost excess reason, or use the default value Not Applicable.
