Concept of Freight

Freight is the value paid for the transportation service. A company's product distribution system has always been important and complex because transportation is an important cost element in the every industrial and commercial business.

Distribution of materials, if well structured, is required to obtain more possibilities of placing the product on different markets. However, using distribution systems not only represents an additional cost for the company, but also a relevant factor in forming the final price of the product.

There are three types of freight collection:

. Freight on purchases;

. Freight among industrial establishments;

. Freight on sales.

Inventory/Costs, besides controlling and managing materials, calculates the cost of these materials. Certainly, their distribution generates some kind of cost. For further information about freight value entries, see the topic Bill of Lading.

Bill of Lading

This routine aims at facilitating the entry of bills of lading.

The most frequent conditions are: FOB, in which the transportation from the supplier to the client is not included in the price, or CIF, in which shipping is included in the price.

The bill of lading is issued when the transportation is done by a carrier and it is of the FOB type. Several deliveries are carried out and, after a period determined by the company, an invoice is issued for payment of the carrier services.

Thus, to generate the invoice, the carrier must be registered as a supplier so that a bill payable is generated in Financials (when the company has the integrated Financials module).

Bill of Lading and Inbound Document routines allow checking the access key of the CTe and at Sefaz, after entering the key in the NFe/CTe Key field and upon adding documents of the CTE type and own form = No.

For information regarding usage of the Electronic Invoice (Nota Fiscal Eletrônica) you must read the Manual for Electronic Documents available in the TDN portal in the Electronic Invoice – SEFAZ topic.


Procedures

Generating a Bill of Lading:

  1. In Bill of Lading Maintenance, a screen is displayed with the parameters required to configure the routine.
  2. Configure the parameters according to field help instructions.
  3. Check the parameters and confirm. Based on the specified criterion, invoices to compose the bill of lading are listed.
  4. Select the invoices by double-clicking the records so that they are checked with a green X.
  5. Select the Generate BL option, the program structures with the adequate values to the invoice typing screed. The values are calculated according to the purchase proportion of each product.

You can change some data, if required. The Amount is disabled.

The type of invoice is C - Bill of Lading.

6. Fill in the data in the Footer Tabs.

7. Check the data and confirm.

 To add an inbound document, fill out the NFe/CTe Key field with the CTe access key found in Danfe Data.


Help_buttonImportant:

To check the entered key at Sefaz, the type of inbound document must be CTe and the own form = NO. It is imperative that the TSS have been started up, otherwise a help message is displayed requiring the startup of TSS or the disabling of the parameter which checks the entered key.


The access key of the CTe approved at Sefaz is displayed on screen, along with a return code, return message and CTe authorization receipt number at Sefaz.

If the access key of the queried CTe is canceled at Sefaz, such response is displayed on screen. Chose YES to keep the key and NO to erase the entered content.

Help_buttonImportant:

When enabling the MV_CHVNFE parameter and adding an access key for querying, there might be a reduction in the routine's performance due to Sefaz availability.
