Raising a local invoice

The local invoice screens, the charge grids, and how container-rate freight is priced.

A local invoice bills your own customer in your own market. There is one screen per lane โ€” Local Invoices Entry and Printing (Air-Export), (Sea-Export), (Air-Import) and (Sea-Import) โ€” and they are the same form differing only in what the lane needs.

The header

  1. Open the screen for your lane and press add.
  2. Pick the Job the invoice is raised against, and the party being billed.
  3. Set the document number and date, and the branch.
  4. Set Currency and Ex. Rate. Container-rate invoices carry Currency 2 / Ex. Rate 2 and Currency 3 / Ex. Rate 3 as well, for a document struck in more than one currency.
Note Everything is converted to PKR behind the scenes, so a USD invoice and a PKR invoice can sit on the same trial balance without anyone adding dollars to rupees.

The charge grid

Press + Add Line for each billable charge. A local invoice line carries Charge Code, Description, Pcs, Gross Wt, Ch. Wt, Cl, Comdty, Qty, UOM, Rate, Currency and Ex. Rate. Rate ร— Qty in the line currency, converted at the line rate, is what reaches the totals.

Container rates

The four lane-bound local invoices carry a container grid for per-container freight. Press + Add Container and fill in No. of Containers, Container Size, TEU and Container Rate; the sea-import screen additionally carries a per-row Currency.

For LCL, price through the header instead: CBM ร— CBM Rate, in the document currency. The FRC Freight and PKR Freight boxes hold the split that prints on the document.

The two charge grids

Below the invoice lines sit two further grids, both of the same shape โ€” Charge Code, Description, Qty, Rate, Currency, Ex. Rate.

GridWhat it is for
SHIPPING-LINE CHARGESWhat the line charged on this shipment.
OTHER CHARGESEverything else recharged on the same document.

Each grid totals itself, and its total appears in the totals block on the right beside Service Charges and the document total.
