Forwarding Details

The Forwarding invoice is used to record charges for freight forwarding services — the organization and coordination of cargo transportation.

This scenario applies when transportation is arranged across one or multiple segments, and the invoice reflects the cargo details, supporting transport documents, and any additional expenses.

  • The Forwarding Invoice is created with cargo and pricing details.

  • Transport segments are specified.

  • Related forwarding documents and containers may be added.

  • The final invoice amount is calculated automatically.

Key Features

  1. The Forwarding Invoice contains cargo and pricing information, along with transport segments and supporting documents.

  2. The detailed view includes the following sections:

    • Forwarding Details — Cargo type, reference, price, and quantity;

    • Segments — Transportation stages and applicable delivery terms;

    • Forwarding Documents — Transport documents and related containers;

  3. The total invoice amount is calculated as:
