How we can include the transportation and delivery cost in a Blanket Agreement?

edited May 8, 2024 9:56PM in Purchasing 1 comment

Summary:

During the negotiation process with multiple Suppliers in a Tender process, the cost of transportation and delivery cost is compared based on similar Delivery Terms (in this case Incoterms).

The estimated cost of freights, charges, customs, etc, on top of the base price is already part of the negotiation, but we cannot currently transfer those costs to the Blanket Agreement, and then to the Trade Operation in Landed Cost Management.

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

As the transportation/customs costs are very sensitive and can change the total cost of products, compared to local and closer suppliers in the comparison, this is a very sensitive and important information that should flow from Negotiations, where Suppliers provide an estimation of their costs based on Delivery Terms, and this should be stored in the Blanket Agreement to be used as part of the Trade Operations in Landed Cost Management. Is there any way to store this information in Blanket Agreements?

Howdy, Stranger!
