Shipping Line/Airline Agents as Creditors on Consols
Summary
In various countries or individual ports, shipping lines and airlines can be represented by different
agencies. Although the bookings and consolidations are made with the carriers, often forwarders
are dealing with their agents locally and are invoiced by the agents instead of the carriers.
It is now possible to nominate different agencies per Carrier Organization per country or per port
that will automatically default as agents to Consolidations as Creditors.
The agents will be calculated from the Carrier organization from export or import ports/countries
depending on the Consols payment term (prepaid or collect respectively).
Description
Refer to Admin > System > Reference Files > Organization, Carrier Organization, Port Related
Parties section, Carrier > Agencies tab.
Agency organizations can be nominated by location (port or country).
