General

In industries such as liquefied natural gas and oil, there is always a pound difference in the process of import and export trade with suppliers, so it is necessary to have a pound difference agreement. What is the pound difference? The weight difference refers to the difference between the weight list provided by the supplier at the time of shipment and the actual weight accepted by the purchaser. The general weight difference clause is applicable to the purchase and sales contract that can weigh and measure products. The standard range of weight difference is 3 ‰. The delivery quantity is usually subject to the actual quantity accepted by the purchaser. If there is an error between the weighed quantity accepted by the Buyer and the weight list delivered by the Supplier, within the range of three thousandths, the actual weight weighed by the Buyer shall prevail. For the part exceeding three thousandths, the Supplier shall have the right to require the third party's metric weight to prevail, and the metric weight cost shall be borne by the wrong party.

How should foreign trade companies deal with the weight difference when purchasing and selling? The following four aspects need to be considered:

One aspect: agreement with suppliers. This requires that the requirements be agreed in the initial contract agreement of cooperation.

The second aspect: settlement method. If it is in the settlement phase, it is based on the actual quantity of goods or the warehousing quantity, and it is processed by asking the supplier to replenish or red-ink FP.

Third aspect: cost assurance. If the error is within a reasonable range and subject to the delivery quantity of the opposite party, the weight difference is included in the reasonable loss range of transportation. In this case, in theory, the total cost should be guaranteed first, and the quantity of each receipt should be adjusted, and the unit cost should be adjusted accordingly. The resulting loss should be directly reflected in the use of inventory, such as direct sales, picking production, etc.

Aspect 4: issue/receipt adjustment. Some foreign trade companies have purchase considerations, or reconciliation with suppliers and other factors. If they want to make the total cost consistent, the unit price is also consistent. At this time, they need to adjust the issue and receipt. The purchase expenses incurred before warehousing can be included in the purchase cost according to the existing provisions of the base; If there is a pound difference, the total purchase price will be used for statistics, and the actual quantity will be stocked in, and the corresponding unit price will be adjusted; If the product weight difference is normal loss, it can be counted into the period expense (management expense).

What is issue cost accounting? It refers to the issue cost calculated according to the determined pricing method based on the receipt cost of the material and the opening balance. The accounting of delivery cost generally includes weighted average method, moving average method, first-in first-out method, and pricing method of other special products. The general process is: accounting documents ->access sequence ->accounting range determination ->material pricing method determination ->legitimacy check ->accounting. Through the foreign trade software, as long as the initial data is entered, the issue cost is automatically generated. Generally, the function modules used to call the data in the background include: cost management, inventory accounting, and issue cost accounting.

If the quality or quantity of the goods found to be unqualified after the arrival of the purchase, what should be done?

When the quality of the goods is not up to standard, the supplier needs to replace urgently or purchase a small amount of goods nearby or exchange goods in the same trade under the condition of ensuring that the quality is up to standard; When the quantity of goods is inconsistent, it is necessary to determine with the supplier whether it is due to the loss of shipment or the logistics transportation problem, and determine the compensation result through negotiation. Generally, the process of claim is complex and the cycle is relatively long, and the purchaser needs to make psychological preparations. In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, at the initial stage of cooperation, we should emphasize the quality and the outer packaging of products with the supplier to avoid the unqualified situation after arrival. For equipment procurement, a quality guarantee deposit is required, because the equipment often has maintenance problems. The quality guarantee deposit is reserved to prevent the supplier from handling the cost of maintenance when it does not handle it. The specific amount should be determined by both parties through negotiation.
