Freight invoice against own fleets

Posted on by 764

Dear All,

I am new to Transportation Management Module in D365FO, my client has its own fleets, trucks for their products shipment for customers. they want system suggest load management, route management and freight charges. if i use TM then i can do all these functionality, but i am wondering about the freight bill invoices system generated because in my case we are using OWN fleets for distribution, how we can issue freight invoice against OWN fleets.

Clarification require on this, what are the best practice in case of own fleet for distribution.

  • Freight invoice against own fleets
    Hello Afazel,
        This is a very good question and a lot of companies are confused by the usage of TMS functionality when it comes to using external transportation service providers ( 3rd party logistics and own fleet transportation.
    When using 3rd party logistics it's obviously required to create a freight bill and receive an invoice from the service vendor and in this case you can debit the item COGs or the customer AR,
    However using own fleet logistics it's prohibited to create a freight bill as there isn't an invoice LOL (company owns the vehicles) and therefore not all TMS functionality will be used.
     
    Best regards

    Hi,

    in case of own fleet, can you elaborate this "However, the carrier invoice reconciliation process isn't required." What I assumed? after load confirmed, charges became the part of sales order and passed to customer. so process complete or still  I need to generate freight invoice or don't need to to generate the freight invoice. what?

    Hi Afazal,

    If the company's own fleet is available for delivery/pickup, and delivery charges are passed on to customers.For the outbound processes, you can use Transportation management to determine the transportation charges and pass them on to customers. However, the carrier invoice reconciliation process isn't required.

    If the company's own fleet is available for delivery/pickup, but delivery charges aren't passed on to customers, because product prices include transportation. A lot of the Transportation management functionality isn't required. However, you can use Transportation management to determine the transportation rates and adjust the sales price accordingly.
