Invoice category is limited to only 3 for the same customer. This means for a BL for the same customer invoice can be created with 3 different invoice categories as shown in the screen shot. However if the customer is different the invoice category can be repeated. For example if the invoice has 10 charges and if these ten charges are invoiced to different customers then it is possible to generate 10 invoices with the same Invoice category for example Type 1.

The changed address is saved only in the invoice so that if user wants to print the same invoice once again then the same address would be reflected on the invoice. This is useful in case if the invoice delivery address is different from the payment address.

Detention Matrix must be setup for both FROM & TO EMS movements for EDET EXPORT Detention Charge.

If multiple FROM EMS (START) activity codes are saved then the maximum is

considered and if there are multiple TO EMS (END) activity codes are saved then the maximum or greater date is considered for the detention calculation. However there is a configuration to consider the minimum FROM EMS (START) activity code.

EMS movements must be there for the container, however if TO movement is not

Export invoice with Storage

Definition of Export Storage If the full container is lying in the terminal

for more than the stipulated period of time, it is called as storage. Before loading the full container there is a Cut-off date which is maintained in our system as Manual LODF or Vessel Cut-off date. The shipper is not expected to bring the container before this date. If the shipper brings the full container before this date then the full container is lying in terminal until it is loaded on to the vessel. Therefore, the storage is incurred and the same can be invoiced to shipper. Usually EMS movement would be RCVS to LODF or Manual LODF or vessel cut-off date.

Logic of Storage Calculation in Export Invoice


Start (FROM) date should be EMS date End (TO) Date will be applied on below priority Manual LODF from Vessel Info. If above is not available, then system refers EMS TO activity movement date. If the configuration Export Port Storage with To Activity as per CY cut-off date is enabled for the agency, then system will compare the CY cut-off date in vessel info with EMS TO movement activity date and apply whichever is lesser. If none of the END activity not is found, the system will use ETD (sailing date).

In the above example the freight charges and related surcharges excluding THL and FAC are changed from Prepaid to Collect. These charges have been invoiced from the BL with Export Invoice. Since pay terms changed, these charges are removed and added with payment mode as collect. Hence, Manifest corrector invoice needs to be generated in order to create a credit note to the customer for the charges invoiced at Export Invoice.
