Contractual Services a.k.a Outside Service and freight

It is always tricky to setup contractual services in an ERP system. It somehow falls between purchasing and production and a compromise is required to decide whether business requirements will be forwarded to purchasing module or production module of the software. Imagine a scenario where you are shipping materials and expecting finished good back from your vendor and you have to calculate freight. How would you calculate weight of the shipment? Part (finished good)  is not there but usually weight is calculated based on part on the BOL. iVP CMS can be configured to use 'material part' for this scenario by using plant part master flag 'Use Label Quantity as BOL Part Weight if Label Unit Equals to BOL Weight Unit'
