The profitshare explained in this chapter is used in the seafreight.

In Oceanfreight CargoSoft determines via the assignment OBL → HBL the HBL files belonging to the OBL.

The user can also split up the amounts (divided into revenues and expenses) between him and the agent.
Amounts can also be divided based on the billing codes.
→ CargoSoft determines the entire profit and the balance that is to be billed. 
An invoice or a credit note is automatically generated based on these results.

The billing lines can only be added to with additional text lines.

COMPANY → INVOICING → Administration tab

A billing code needs to be deposited in the basic data COMPANY → INVOICING for the automatic creation of the billing lines.

For this, there is the area Billing codes for profit share on the Administration tab – distinguishing between seafreight and airfreight, as well as invoice and credit note.

Carry out the profit sharing seafreight

The profit sharing is carried out in the Invoicing tab in the order on the Voucher header data tab.

When selecting the entry Profitshare, an additional tab Profit share will open in the invoicing between the tabs Goods description and Voucher items.

If no data could be found, the mask remains blank. However, any lines can be added manually.

Division ratio: The split ratio can also be entered here → 50:50 is selected by default.

Basis (Dropdown field without name): Required field is the basis for the division of the costs as well as for the cost splitting!

When the profit share is completely recorded, you can switch to the Voucher items tab.
Here, the data from the profit share are checked.

Depending on the indication of the balance value, an invoice or a credit note is created from this voucher.

The voucher type is automatically changed if necessary → An information window will appear.  

A billing line is created automatically.
→ The billing code is loaded from the COMPANY → INVOICING.

The currency is accepted from the voucher header data and the balance value is accepted as a fixed invoice value.

At this point, only text lines and no additional billing lines with other amounts are allowed to be entered into the voucher items.  

A print of this profit share is automatically created when saving the invoice.

For the reprint of this profit share, there is the menu point Print profit share in the context menu on the Overview tab.

If no profit share was recorded for a voucher, no print is carried out.

General information

When splitting the amounts, only one of the two methods cost splitting OR profit sharing can be saved!

When saving, it is additionally checked which selection was made in the header data of the voucher in the field Cost splitting:

  • No division
  • Cost splitting
  • Profit share

Only this one option is saved!

All other recorded data are – e.g. when changing a voucher – explicitly deleted.

If more than 100 files are found during the cost splitting, a warning appears, asking whether the process is to be continued.

In this cases, the OBL/MAWB number might be filled with a Dummy value.
