Electronical Credit Note
Along with GPC Green Logistic supporting activities (Go Green), freight credit notes in the future can be sent to forwarding agents electronically in order to reduce the need of paper significantly.
Yet the summary sheet will still be sent by letter post – this is necessary because of legal tax issues. Detail data (transportation and itemized costs) will be transferred electronically.
Detail data can either be transferred as a print version of the present transportation and detail costs list or can be converted to XML or EDI format by components of the GPC module Communication Management System (CMS). Transmission paths work via IDOCs, by E-mail in the SAP output control or by file transfer with sequential credit note files.
Electronical Credit Note Process with DB Schenker Rail
DB Schenker Rail will be enabling an electronic exchange of credit data for selected Deutsche Bahn steel customers from 2010 on in a pilot project. GPC will be attending such a pilot customer as an IT partner. Credit note data will be converted to XML format according to Deutsche Bahn IT service provider directives and will be transferred to the Deutsche Bahn customer service center in Duisburg. The service center verifies these data and will then send back a message for correction to the settling rail shipper (in XML-format) if necessary. All cost elements known at shipment start are being captured by this electronic process.
