Integration Procurement and Freight
The Freight package can be used to handle transportation requirements. If the transportation of goods must be arranged in Procurement, and consequently goods must be collected from a supplier, you can generate a freight order from the purchase order. The supplier must know the date on which the goods must be ready. As a result, you must consider the planned load date in the purchase order as the shipment date; when to pick up the goods from the supplier.
Integration between Freight Order Control and Procurement
During the planning and execution of a freight order, its status often changes. If a freight order is created from Procurement, the progress of the shipment and loads can be exchanged and information can be shared between Freight Order Control and Procurement.
For more information, refer to Integration Freight Order Control and Procurement.
Integration between freight Invoicing and purchase invoicing
The freight rate that you must pay to the carrier, is called freight costs. You can invoice your business partner for the freight costs, based on:
- Freight Costs
- Freight Costs (Update Allowed)
- Client Rates
For more information, refer to Integration freight invoicing and purchase invoicing.
Integration between landed costs and Freight
You can link estimated or actual freight costs as landed costs to a purchase order for which a freight order is or will be generated.
For more information, refer to Landed costs – freight orders.
