Payment Term/BP on the level of Charge type in FWO

[Former Member]

According to business process I have 2 variants of payment term  for transportation with payer:

1)      Prepaid (paid by Agency1(Payer1) in POL port of Loading)

2)      Collect (paid by Agency2(Payer2) in POD port of discharge)

3)      Today customer has  a requirement to issue several settlements from one FWO to different business partners on the level of  charge type.

Example:

BP Role: Payer

BP : Payer 1

Payment term: will pay with term prepaid:

Charge type1 - NTFR (Net Ocean Freight)

Charge type2 - BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor)

BP Role: Payer

BP : Payer 2 

Payment term: will pay with term collect:

Charge type3 - DTHC

The problem is how to  combine several terms(prepaid/collect/direct) with several BP Roles(Payer)/BP(Payer1/Payer2)on the level of charge type(service) in FWO.

From the fisrt sight this case could be some way covered by standard on 9.1 functionality of «Charge type activation based on incoterm».

But at the same time we some issues with this standard solution, because we need to split payer and term not only for the whole stage, but also for different charges in one stage. An example of this could be port to port transportation without any pre-carriage or on-carriage, but with OTHC/DTHC that could be paid in any term(P/C) separately by the appropriate agent in POL or POD. At the same time all the transportation costs will be associated only with one stage of transportation.

Do anybody has an idea how to split payment term deeper than level of stage?

Hi,

You can use the "Flexible Settlement" function in TM9.1.

1. Assign the charge types to settlement group.
2. Assign the settlement group to settlement rule.
3. Assign the settlement rule to settlement profile.
