It is possible in Transpas to make the income distribution depend on the costs allocated to a leg. This is especially useful for legs operated by hauliers. It is therefore possible to equate the allocated income with the costs of the charter.
In Costs – and income shiftings - the method Cost neutral can be used for this.
In Costs – and income shiftings - a new method Cost neutral has now been added to be used in shifting rules.
This indicates that the ‘cost-neutral’ amount on the relevant target line(s) (legs) must serve as the basis for the income to be allocated (provided a cost-neutral amount is present). The cost neutral amount will first have to be determined by means of a cost neutral ruleset, this determination can be stored on the relevant income allocation.
Via the screen Cost neutral rulesets you can set the determination so that the field Neutral cost amount on the tab subplan lines actually has a value.
The cost neutral ruleset consists of 2 parts:
The fields related to a crossing only apply when 1 crossing is planned in the trip.
If condition intercompany is set to YES, only the cost selection ‘intercompany’ can be selected, no further.
As soon as we outsource a trip to a charter, we want all costs booked on this charter to be included in the cost neutral amount on the concerned shipment(s). We can set this up in the following way:
We create a new ruleset with condition Subcontracted = YES. In addition, on the costs tab, indicate that we want to include all cost lines that are booked on that charter (creditor field on the cost line) in the cost-neutral amount.
We then assign the rulset made to the relevant income distribution via the Cost and income shifting screen.
After setting everything up we will see that the subplanleg has a costneutral amount and that the assigned income is identical to this amount:
