Function documentationAdditional Agreement Parties Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

This function enables you to create a freight settlement document (FSD) for each of the additional agreement parties that are contained in a freight order or freight booking. You can use an additional agreement party when you have a main carrier and another service provider in a freight order. You can use the additional agreement party for other logistics services such as export clearance and fumigation of containers.

When you create a freight settlement document from the freight order or freight booking, the system displays a dialog box if additional agreement parties exist in the freight order or freight booking. You can select one or more parties and continue with the settlement process.

If you include an additional agreement party in the freight order, the system calculates charges for all parties, including the main carrier, at header level.

Note Note

You cannot enter the details of the services provided by an additional agreement party in a freight order or freight booking. Instead, you can use the charge type in the freight agreement to record the service.

If you have overlapping services between the carrier and an additional agreement party, the system issues an FSD for the overlapping services to both parties. For example, you have a freight agreement with a carrier in which the carrier provides both transportation and fumigation services. You also have an additional agreement party that provides a fumigation service. You have a freight order in which the carrier provides transportation services and the additional agreement party provides a fumigation service. The system creates an FSD that includes a charge for the fumigation service for both parties. You must manage this situation outside of the system.

If you have more than one calculation sheet to cover different services from the same additional agreement party or carrier, the system cannot differentiate between the different calculation sheets. It uses just one calculation sheet when it creates an FSD. For example, you have a carrier that provides both carrier and fumigation services. In your system you have one calculation sheet for transportation charges and a second calculation sheet for fumigation charges. You have a freight order in which the same carrier provides transportation and fumigation services. The system uses just one calculation sheet to create the FSD, and you cannot create an FSD that includes both charges. Again, you must manage this situation outside of the system.

The system does not support quotations, carrier selection, and tendering for additional agreement parties.
