Defining a third party bill to

You can specify the bill to party for shipments where the freight term or payment type is Third Party. Third party bill to is defined using the configuration rules and is based on a combination of owner, ship from, and ship to. When a shipment has the owner, ship from, and ship to criteria and has freight terms of third party, the bill to data is populated using the information in the qualified configuration rule. If the third party bill to information is not defined, then the shipment fails before it is sent to TM since Bill To Party is required for any shipment with a freight term or payment type of third party.

To define the third party bill to information within a configuration rule:

  1. Specify the Freight Bill To party name on the Third Party Bill To tab.

    You can either specify the location ID or use search to select from a list of available freight bill to party IDs.

    Note: The freight bill to party must be set up in the Enterprise Workbench as a Freight Bill To trading partner before it is available for selection.

    After you complete the field, other fields on the screen are completed with information for the bill to party.
