Title: RTMs for Commercial Invoices
Post by Lenette on 02/10/06 at 12:30:23

We would like Commercial Invoices information and/or Certificates of Conformity to be included in RTMs.

With that said... would others in need of this please list here items that are required for their shipments.

thank you Lynn for helping with this!

We modified the invoice and called it Cert-actually we have several for different types of certifications that customers require. Works quite well.

I am especially interested in having some of the fields perform sum functions. We have to total the weight, number of boxes and of course $ value. Currently we use Excel for this document.

The symposium was great! Thanks again.

Furthermore a field for the US census Schedule B number would be great... perhaps it could be entered through IN-B with all of the other part data

Do you want this as a variation of the actual Invoice (printed after releasing the order for shipment and pulling a real invoice number) or as a Pro Forma document issued well in advance of shipment for arrangement of Letters of Credit and the like? Or both?

I am not familiar with the Schedule B number - it is Part Specific? How many Characters?

Pro Forma only is appropriate as a Commercial invoice is mainly for reference and data collection. The shipping company uses it for invoicing the shipment cost. We already have a SO to invoice from.

The schedule B number is a (there are others) material reference that is internationally recognized and administered by the US government. It is necessary on international shipments (import/export) where a given part's total shipping value exceeds $2500. There are 12 characters in the code e.g. 7306.90.5000 no commodity description is necessary.

Commercial invoice must show actual sale price, not list price and discount. The price on the commercial invoice is the basis for customs duty and value added taxes. If a list price is displayed, duty and VAT will be calculated on list price, not net.

Lenette,
If someone could tell me how, I could post a couple of screen shots, or setup a link to show you my certifications. We print them on three part NCR paper so the QC Manager can sign them. Since they work off the invoice, we can print them after the invoice is completed, or before if necessary.
