Create "Goods in transit orders" without invoice posting. In landed cost module, system needs to post the invoice to create "Goods in transit orders", this step reflects the point in the journey where risk transfers from seller to buyer in international and domestic contracts for the delivery of goods. Usually, in business there is a gap between the moment the responsibility of goods is transferred (depending on incoterm it will be transferred sooner or later) and when the invoice is received and processed by buyer. This period of time can be of weeks. In addition, the department within a company responsible for this step will be the logistics one, not financial/AP, meaning logistics/procurement department will receive notification from supplier that responsibility of goods is on buyer's side, while financial dpt will be in charge of processing invoice once is received, as specified before can be weeks later. Therefore the idea is to trigger "Goods in transit orders" without having to post invoice, this way logistics/procurement dpt will be able to reflect in system risk transfer with suppliers notification, while financial dpt will process invoices when received/needed.
