Hi Everyone,
I’ve seen variants of this question, but I will try to phrase it more specifically.
We sometimes incur supplier surcharges that may vary PO by PO (for example LCL charges or below-MOQ charges). That PO may end up being shipped alongside other POs on a container where we disburse freight and other charges across all container lines. The PO header misc charge should also be disbursed into the landed cost of that specific container line ONLY (or only lines from that PO) so that it is accounted for in our landed cost (I have marked the misc charge as such in the set up) but does not affect unrelated container lines.
The problem is that the PO header misc charges do not get pulled into Container Landed Cost.
I know there were previous posts that suggested that these types of misc charges be configured in the container directly, but this isn’t ideal because our PO totals should match the invoice the supplier will send, and the container related charges should remain specific to the overall shipment charges (not specific to a container line).
I guess ideally it would be either:
- the PO header misc charge can be disbursed into the cost of the PO line directly on the PO and that extended value is carried into the container line
OR - The misc charge can carry over to the container line and can be disbursed accordingly as part of the landed cost features in Container Landed Cost Entry
OR
some combination of both where the proportional allocation is calculated on the PO based on the charge configuration, but the disbursement actually happens in the container.
Has anyone experienced this issue or found a way to work with this?
THANK YOU AS ALWAYS!
