What is Usage Fee
Usage fee (Transaction cost) is automatically generated by means of a Delivery Note when filled packaging is registered as dispatched (goods issued) in LES.
The fee is based on the usage cost that includes purchasing, administration and distribution. All costs linked to the handling of the packaging.
Each time packaging material is being used for transportation, a Delivery Note must be registered by the user in LES. The delivery notes will be the basis for the fee and invoiced once per month.
Usage fee for flows to companies in the AB Volvo Group is paid by the receiving unit. The general rule for other non-Volvo flows is that the dispatcher pays the fee. There are exceptions from this general rule, a packaging user can alter the general terms of paying obligations in a specific flow by the use of a Payment Agreement.
V-EMB Usage Fee Payer
If you want or need to change the payer of a filled packaging flow, a payment agreement is needed. To set up a Payment Agreement please submit a ticket as per picture below:
