·         Open invoice in Pinnacle – F5

       

     ·         Type the Invoice number – click Search

 

·         If  freight has no charge

·         Check if the freight route detail is changed (in order history)

- If the invoice is RECEIVER PAYS – freight is ok

- If it is SENDERS PAYS – we need to charge freight

- Email salesperson the details so he can invoice customer the freight charge




·         Open Toll Ipec  Online

         ·         Enter Con Note number ( con note number from the invoice)

         

         

·         Enter Con note the click Track

·         Con note Details will appear


 

Take a look at the size & weight of the part

-          Cubic Meters

-          Declared Weight

 

We can base on the weight & size of the parts delivered we can see reason why the freight charge is over the variance amount

 

Ex: Con note 1463040002522

Engine – part delivered

0.41 m – size

150.0kg – weight

 

This con note seems okay we also base from size & weight so for engine size 0.41m and weight 150.00kg – freight charge is okay

 

-          Go to another Con Note and check

 Axiom/Metrostate/TNT and other small freights

-          Checking axiom/metrostate invoice refer to Scanned Con notes copy 



-          Also in checking  axiom/metrostate invoice also refer or base on the part delivered

For example: 

Small parts like HEADLIGHTS – charge is about 20.00

Larger parts like BONNETS – charge is about 40.00

ENGINES and GEARBOXES are between 60 to 80



If the supplier is SMASH REPAIRS, EBAY or BODY REPAIRS suppliers they don’t need to pay for the freight



Suppliers :

GEMINI ‘S  - SMASH REPAIRS – no need to pay for freight

EDWARD SPRAY NORTH / CENTRE – SMASH REPAIRS – no need to pay for freight

 

-          Example of where a supplier send good direct to our customer..

-          I logged into xero and entered the number supplier on the con note 23841.

-          Using the scan number recorded I opened the supplier invoice

-          On the invoice was the following information

-          Central coast 4 x 4 – part sent direct to Bretts Automotive

-          There was no freight charge on the invoice

-          Therefore I need to pay freight direct to freight company

-          Sometime our supplier charge us freight – they use their  own freight company

-          As long as we don’t pay supplier for  freight and also freight company – we are ok
