Best Practices for Service Oriented Logistics
We are implementing NetSuite for a logistics and freight forwarding company (multi-entity setup) that offers services like ocean freight (FCL/LCL), air freight, land transport, customs clearance and relocation.
I'm looking for guidance on:
- Which item types (Non-Inventory, Service, Other Charge, etc.) are best suited for billing these services?
- How to differentiate items between internal services and vendor pass-through costs?
- Best practices for GL account mapping for service-oriented logistics setups.
- Any recommendations on rate management structures or using SuiteScript to dynamically price based on shipment mode, leg, or agent?
We want to ensure revenue and cost visibility job-wise, and support profitability tracking across services and locations.
