Material Management in Freight Forwarding business

73 Views

Hi Experts,

How we manage materials in freight forwarding business? ( As a forwarding agent, if we are moving containers from one location to other & charging Customers for the Service provided )

My doubts / Que :-

1. In this 3PL process, multiple parties are involved

( e.g Company A - Picks up the goods from Customers Factory by providing their trucks till nearest Port

Company B - Shipping Company will deliver the Containers to destination port

Company C - Collects the Goods & delivers at designated location by providing their trucks.

How will monitor the complete process in our SAP system? As multiple PO will be created for Company A, B & C? & will settle their invoices after completion of their service. But for our Customer will be charging single invoice based on all these cost incurred.

2. Do we have to manage all these materials in our SAP system, if we are also providing warehousing solution to our Customer? As in this case, the inventory is our Customers asset. Do we have to valuate this material??

Could you please provide your valuable comments.

Regards,

Julie
