Document Contract Strategy

In the shipping process, multiple parties may need to be invoiced or will send invoices for transportation or other services. Depending on the Incoterms, either the Shipper or Consignee will be charged for specific services. In various scenarios, costs must be allocated to carriers, handling agents, or other involved parties.

To calculate or recalculate revenues and costs on a document in Business Central, the system uses Document Contract strategy lines. These lines specify the party involved (e.g., Shipper or Consignee), the Area Type (such as ORIGIN CHARGES), and the locations from and to. Based on this information, Business Central automatically calculates the appropriate revenues and costs for the document.
