Exploring the ‘Stock Rent’ functionality in BESTMIX® Enterprise
In the realm of the global nutrition supply chain, a prevalent business practice involves entering forward contracts where parties agree on commodity prices, quantities, qualities, and delivery schedules. This practice, also known as a “forward contract”, holds significant sway over financial outcomes and inventory dynamics. However, challenges arise when unforeseen situations prompt the need for delayed deliveries, leading to additional expenses termed "stock rent".
A practical example: you purchase 100 tons of wheat from a seller with a contract specifying collection by the end of September. Due to a production breakdown, the collection is delayed until October, resulting in an additional invoice from your business partner based on the extended time. This event increases the cost price of wheat, requiring that the additional invoice matches the corresponding purchase transaction. This scenario can become more complex based on various factors such as multiple collections in different days and quantities/collection, and variable rent prices in different weeks. To navigate these intricacies seamlessly, a sophisticated ERP system is pivotal—one that can adeptly manage contract balances, automate stock rent calculations, and facilitate smooth transactions for both buyers and sellers.
