Introduction
Breakdown refers to the breakdown of charges on master shipments to all the house shipments on the master. Depending on how the charge code is defined, the figure may be broken down equally across all the houses, or it may use any of the other possible breakdown methods such as by chargeable weight, by gross weight, by volume, by number of pieces or by profit share. When viewing figures in jobcosting , the Type column will indicate any transferred charges as charge type "TEP" or "TEI". For jobcosting purposes it is always assumed that profit is not viewed at master level, but at house level and therefore master charges will always be transferred to house shipments to ensure master shipment show zero profit.
The purpose of the Breakdown finance application is to show jobs that have not broken down correctly with the option to retry the breakdown.
