5. Costs: Budgeted, Ordered and Lot-Specific
+
+
Interacid will control costs in three steps. First, Trading or Back-office enters budgeted costs at contract level. Second, Operations creates or updates ordered costs at shipment level when the service is committed. Third, final or specific costs are allocated to the physical lots contained in the shipment.
+
+
+ Example cost allocation:
+ Freight budget = 80.00 USD/MT x 10,000 MT = 800,000.00 USD
+ Ordered freight = 82.50 USD/MT x 10,000 MT = 825,000.00 USD
+ Difference to monitor = 25,000.00 USD unfavorable
