Following the implementation of the functionality https://gitlab.maccs.mu/rnd/ffa/documentation/-/issues/1217 allowing charges to be identified as “Manifested Freight / Ex Works charges” in the Maintenance Charges configuration, the client has requested an enhancement to also handle cases where the Freight Payment Term = Collect.

Currently, the system logic focuses primarily on Manifested Freight with Freight Term = Prepaid, where the amount is displayed for information purposes only and excluded from invoice calculations.

MCL/CPW now requires that Manifested Freight charges with Freight Term = Collect should also be displayed clearly while still being calculated as charges for invloicing.

New Requirement:
When a charge is configured as Manifested Freight in Maintenance Charges and the Freight Term = Collect and it is for Ocean Import, the system must:

• Display the Manifested Freight amount at the top of the charges list in the VAT Invoice and NOA (Notice of Arrival) for information purposes.
• Continue to display the same charge within the normal charges list of the invoice.
• Treat the charge as a normal collectible charge and include it in all invoice calculations (subtotal, VAT, grand total).

Acceptance Criteria

1. When Manifested Freight / Ex Works charges checkbox is selected in Maintenance Charges:

   Freight Term = Prepaid

   • Amount appears on top of NOA and VAT Invoice.
   • Amount not included in invoice calculations.
   • Amount not listed within collectible charges.

   Freight Term = Collect

   • Amount appears on top of NOA and VAT Invoice as information.
   • Amount remains in the charges list.
   • Amount included in invoice total calculations.

2. The display must be consistent across:

   • NOA (Notice of Arrival)
   • VAT Invoice

3. Existing behaviour for Prepaid manifested freight must remain unchanged.

Reason for Change:
The client wants better visibility of manifested freight amounts, even when freight is Collect, while ensuring the charge is still correctly invoiced.
