Processes in the AVT Container Management SuiteApp
1.Shipment Reference Numbers(SRNs)
It is sent from the supplier/vendor and is imported as a .csv file to NetSuite.
2. Tracking containers by SRNs
SRNs are imported as a .csv file to NetSuite for tracking the Shipment reference numbers from the PO lines.
3. Receiving containers by SRNs
Navigation: AVT Container Management > Purchases > Receive orders
- Select the Shipment Reference Numbers(SRNs) and receive those containers.
- Click Submit.
- The system will automatically find the PO lines that are tracked to the selected SRNs.
- Set the location and click on ‘Create Item Receipt’. The system will automatically create the receipts across multiple POs.
- Once the receipts are created then we can allocate the landed cost.
- Navigation: AVT Container Management > Purchases > Allocate Landed Costs.
- Then again we select the SRNs that we received and ‘Submit’ them.
- Now we can select the cost category, cost method, and cost on the Shipping Reference List.
- On the Item Receipt list, we can see all the PO lines that have been received.
4. Landed Cost Calculator
- By clicking the ‘Calculate Landed Cost’, it will calculate the duty and freight charges provided on each line based on the given landed cost category.
- After clicking the ‘Allocate Landed Cost’, it will apply the landed cost to the receipts.
- Now on the receipt, we can see the landed costs.
- The landed cost on the summary levels of the Item Receipt has been allocated and on the line level, the same information has been translated.
- We can re-apply another landed cost category to the same Shipment Reference Numbers(SRN) by clicking the ‘Reload’ button.
5. PO Consolidation.
Navigation: AVT Container Management > Purchases > Consolidate POs
- Select a vendor and then choose all the POs that we wanted to consolidate and click ‘Consolidate’.
