ReportHello Everyone,
We have a requirement to track all the information of import purchases. This includes BL information, each container information along with their weights at port and at our factory weight bridges. So for starters we read a little online and found that there is a solution for BL and shipments within the BL in the sales side. Is there a way to do the same for the purchase side?
For further explanation here is the business scenario that happens now.
1) The purchase agreement is done. (outside the system)
2) The vendor issues the BL information. This information is spread to the concerned individuals in finance, warehouse and weight bridge operators.
3) The containers are delivered to the factory and received one by one.
4) The finance person maintains the BL data in an excel sheet adds all weight bridge related data to it, then analyzes them for weight discrepancies etc..
Currently this entire cycle is done outside the system. We are planning to incorporate this into the system.
The purchase agreement is straight forward we will utilize purchase agreement feature. We will add additional fields as this agreement will be treated as a contract.
The weight bridge solution we have already designed to be a custom stand alone solution that documents weights (in and out) of each vehicle that enters the factory premises (since no out of the box solution). We will add additional fields of port weights to have the data for that. These weight bridge records will be linked to the product receipts (business rule is to have one product receipt for each vehicle).
The only thing missing here is the BL information part. We were hoping if there is any built in solution so we don't have to customize this too. We want to avoid customization as much as possible.
