The gateway billing enables the creation of freight invoices to coloading branches as internal settlements, single invoices or collective invoices.

The gateway branch charges the partial airfreight, a handling fee and potentiallly other costs to the branches and coloading partners.

A profit (revenue) is posted on the consol file.

The HAWB files are only charged if this is your own branch (own client) and the billing is done via internal settlement.


Info

The order tab GAT-Billing is available in all consol files of a gateway branch.
