Service
General
The service table is the master table for all services a freight forwarder provides and/or purchases from vendors.
General FastTab
On the General FastTab you van register the basic information on a service such as the Code and Description.
The Margin Distribution Function Code and Service group fields can be used to set up the margin Analysis functionality.
Fill the Service group code field if you need to be able to register margin rules for a group of services.
Tip
In the agreement detail lines, you can change the standard description of a Service you entered on the service card.
Invoicing FastTab
On the invoicing FastTab you can define the Gen. Prod. Posting Group and VAT Prod. Posting group fields, which determines how transactions are made for this service with the appropriate general ledger account according to the general posting setup or VAT posting setup.
Status templates per service
Set Default Status Template Cost and Default Status Template Revenue on the service card to use different workflows for different types of charge. When the service is assigned to a cost or revenue line, its applicable default template is selected and the line status is initialized.
Choose templates for the FMS cost/revenue-line table, not the shipment header. Review their checks, transitions and invoicing behavior before applying them to live services. This is separate from the event and milestone template, which tracks operational dates.
