Connect movement and billing
Retain the container and service references behind each charge.
Depot and containers
Connect container movement with the charge behind it.
Depot work spans the manifest, handling, storage, dispatch, and the invoice. ICD Management is an SAP Business One add-on for teams that need those steps in one operational flow.
Built around your business
Turn daily activity into a clearer business view.
Depot operations bring together manifests, container handling, storage periods, dispatch documents, and customer tariffs. ICD Management connects these operational and billing activities with SAP Business One, allowing the team to follow the charge back to the container movement that created it.
Review customer-specific tariffs
Check storage and handling charges against the agreed pricing structure.
Keep dispatch records together
Follow the operational history through to release and invoicing.
Solution capabilities to scope
What your depot and containers solution should connect.
Build the scope around the records your team uses, the decisions it makes, and the exceptions it needs to manage.
01 / SOLUTION AREA
Manifest and container management
Connect manifest and MBL or HBL references with container records, arrival information, and the customer responsible for the activity.

03 / SOLUTION AREA

Reporting priorities
Know what to review.
Know which records support it.
Agree report definitions, date ranges, ownership, and source transactions before implementation. Use these industry-specific views as a starting point for your reporting scope.
- Manifest and container status
- Storage duration and movement history
- Handling services and customer tariffs
- Storage-charge verification and invoice reconciliation
Implementation approach
A practical path from discovery to daily use.
Agree the scope and acceptance criteria first, then prepare the data and people who will run the process.
- 01
Discover the operation
Walk through a real transaction with your operations and accounts teams. Agree the priorities, exceptions, and reports.
- 02
Design and configure
Confirm product fit, responsibilities, approvals, and data fields. Scope any add-ons, custom workflows, and integrations.
- 03
Prepare opening data
Clean and map master records, opening stock, balances, and active transactions. Reconcile the data before migration.
- 04
Test and train
Run representative transactions and exceptions with your users. Verify calculations, reports, access, and operating procedures.
- 05
Go live and review
Agree the cutover plan and support arrangements. Review early transactions and resolve issues with the responsible team.
Before you decide
Your industry questions, answered.
How should we validate ICD billing before go-live?
Choose container journeys with ordinary and exceptional handling, free periods, customer tariffs, and empty-container operations where applicable. Compare the proposed charge calculations and documents with approved examples in your SAP Business One environment.
What determines the implementation scope and cost?
The scope depends on your users, locations, opening data, approvals, reporting, and integrations. We review a representative workflow and agree what uses standard functionality, what needs configuration, and what needs additional development before preparing the proposal.
