Re: Job Costing

Hi Ravi - I think that what you are looking at in that job costing screen is the standard cost allocation from buy/sell shipments back to the relevant order release and order release line. This allocation is controlled by the allocation rules and allocation rule profiles defined on the service providers that are being used on the shipments.

In addition to the standard order release and order release line cost allocation, you have the ability to define NFRC rules which allow you to add NFRC's to jobs in OTM over and above the order release cost allocation.

I believe I understand your intercompany cost processing requirements (having spent time with a freight forwarding client) but I dont think there is any natural mechanism in OTM to do what you may wish to do at the leve of detail that you probably require.

If you are attending the OTM SIG, then I would suggest networking with clients there to research this further. Also, take the opportunity to discuss this with the OTM development group.

Please re-post on here if I can be of any further assistance.
