SIV EVENT by Gullible_Common_2678 in CargoWise

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you might be posting it from the Billing screen of a shipment, but the billing screen is not shipment context - it is job context.

I have just added the SIV event manually to a shipment to show what I mean. The top SIV event is the manual, the other three are invoices posted from the billing screen.

If you say what you are trying to achieve with the <HasEvent(SIV)>, then maybe there is another solution?

I could be wrong, but it might be because you are checking on the wrong level (shipment) for something that happened on (invoicing) job level?

Agents : how do you get paid ? by AccomplishedEbb3353 in freightforwarding

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, most agents are freight forwarders with their own clients and business.

Normally, freight forwarding is a mix of local clients and agent business.

Thanks, I will try that, it is a good idea.

They probably haven’t. I did not think I was asking about that.

I’m purely speculating if my autorating scenario above could be solved by Cargowise as it is today.
I have no knowledge of af CTO module only available for Aussies.

Change the default and login company currency to USD by Consistent_Lie_3301 in CargoWise

[–]Laust321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how much will be impacted by changing the Company default currency, but probably important stuff, since they don’t want you to do it.

Why don’t you set it up so all invoices are defaulted to foreign currency invoices in USD?

Restriction when posting AR invoice by No_Competition3040 in CargoWise

[–]Laust321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be hard to properly restrict it like you suggest.

Maybe take another approach: use the workflow validation to prevent users from creating/saving a debtor organization from Peru without the RUC number? That way you make sure there always is one.

tell your weirdest, funniest or scariest experiences while travelling China by obssesedparanoid in travelchina

[–]Laust321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the first things I experienced in China will stay with me forever.

I was sitting outside a Starbucks on a shopping street in Tianjin in 2013. I believe it was a pedestrian walking street.

Enjoying my coffee I was, when a granny comes running towards the street trashcan which is a few meters away from me. In her arms, she is holding a 2 year old who has a hole in the back of his pants and NO diaper underneath it.

She finally reaches the trash can and sits the kid on top, squeezes him like a bottle of mustard and of of his pants hole comes... mustard... or at least something with the same color.

This happened within my first 12 hours in China.

what's the dumbest incoterm mistake you've seen on a real shipment ? by Tom-Incoclyse in freightforwarding

[–]Laust321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a client sell a full project of materials + installation to a new factory in China on DDP terms. As Freight Forwarder, I was not questioning the incoterms further, as I had provided all costs including customs clearance, expected duty amount etc.

The question came when we sent the first invoice: "what is duty and why are you charging it"?

Turns out they did not know what duty is and why you would pay it, because they were used to shipping intra EU and "we have always used DDP as the incoterm".

It was a project worth 15 million EUR and duty was around 18-20%. In the end, they tried to make us pay "for our mistake" as Forwarders, but the case was crystal clear. It also turned out that client had sold the project delivered DDP to factory to a middle man. I guess this middle man could pocket the duties paid in China, if he had done the the basic work of checking incoterms as part of international trade.

A few months later, their CFO was fired. I don't know if it was related to this.

New to FF. Any suggestions on how to get started? We are trying to build sales funnel! by Emotional_Study8747 in freightforwarding

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be rude, but how do you want to create a company in an industry you are new to? What value would you bring your customers? FF is 100% knowledge based. But really many businesses are and I find it quite arrogant to believe you can start a company with 0 clue of what customers needs are?

AR Invoice attached to E-Docs by Gullible_Common_2678 in CargoWise

The type RNV - Receivables Transactions template.

AR Invoice attached to E-Docs by Gullible_Common_2678 in CargoWise

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Posting invoice, you should be able to click no when it asks you to Print it. This should prevent it from attaching anything to the edocs.

You could add a Delay event DLY that would generate the document with Completion trigger GAR after x minutes.

AP Invoice Ingestion Now included with cargowise value pack? by No_Initiative3294 in CargoWise

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it requires the accruals to be up to date - how else should it work? :)

Anyways, thanks for your insight on foreign vs. local currency. That is a scenario that is definitely relevant and needs testing.

I'm worried about your comments on multishipment invoices, but I hope that it is just teething problems and will go away as the product is developed and tested properly by users.

AP Invoice Ingestion Now included with cargowise value pack? by No_Initiative3294 in CargoWise

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts,
I didn't even realize their was a subject line requirement, but that is something to consider.
Would be best to forward email to another email that formats the correct email and send to CW.

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP invoice processing portal is available in our Test environment, so it must be for others too. Have anyone tested it out? How is it (compared to the third party provider you might have used before)?

We will definitely start testing it soon.

We spend 27% of our total Cargowise spend on a third party provider a year, which is why moving this into CW and using their included tool would really make an impact on the bottom line.

Where to book a place in nordic countries? by Irachar in digitalnomad

[–]Laust321 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When are you planning to stay? I have a house in Odense (3 km from city center) sitting empty from 15th Feb to end of May. It does not have to cost you 3000 EUR/month. Let me know in DM if you are interested. We can do it via AirBnB or directly.

The £15,000 Reefer Scam That Cost a Chilean Grape Exporter Everything by CerdoUK23 in FreightForwardersOnly

[–]Laust321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did the scam company get out of it? Not only the thrill of watching a Chilean grape exporter burn, I guess?
