A freight forwarder should be able to define a unit of measure for each charge in the Shipment Cost screen so that the freight and other costs and corresponding sales are calculated and allocated automatically for each House Bill of Lading (HBL).

Acceptance Criteria

1. Unit of Measure Selection

• The system shall allow the user to select a Unit of Measure (UOM) for each charge line in the Shipment Cost screen.
• Available UOM options shall be:

(a)     Per Container

(b)     Per Volume

(c)     Per B/L

2. Per Volume

• When Per Volume is selected:

a)      The system shall automatically calculate the freight amount based on the volume recorded on the House B/L.

b)     The calculated amount shall be automatically inserted as Sales for the corresponding House B/L and adding the profit margin as well.

Example: If a container's volume is 28MC and costs 1000 USD.

HBL 1 Volume is 10MC.

Cost = (1000 / 28) X 10 = 357.14)

Sales = (Cost x 1.2) = 357.14 x 1.2 = 428.57

Here, 1.2% is being taken from 'Vessel Schedule' from the textbox 'Targeted Sales'

3. Per B/L

• When Per B/L is selected:

a)      The cost amount entered shall be automatically applied as Sales to each House B/L.

If cost of CCS Fee = Rs 3250 for 10 HBL

                                                        i.            The system shall divide the amount proportionally based on volume of HBL
