Additional Information

Freight Bill Payment Mode: The invoice / freight bill payment mode for this tariff. Possible values are: Audit, Auto-Pay. Editable in Update mode. See "Invoice Payment Modes".
Routing Precision: Only used to evaluate lanes for the same tariff. Editable in Update mode. Possible values are:
- Combined Precisions: A relative value will be assigned for the precision of both the origin and destination. The lane or lane constraint with the largest “score” will be used.
- Default Geographic Precision: Use the optimization parameter RoutePrecisionCriteria which support the other five possible values for Routing Precision.
- Destination Precision Over Origin: The lane or lane constraint with the most precise destination will be used.
- More Precise Origin or Destination: The lane or lane constraint with the most precise origin or destination will be used. Destination will take priority in the case of a tie.
- Origin Precision Over Destination: The lane or lane constraint with the most precise origin will be used.
- Service: A lane or lane constraint that refers to a Service will be considered more precise than any entry that does not, regardless of the geographic precision of the zone.
  - A lane with a service is chosen over a lane without service
  - A lane on a referential tariff is chosen over a lane on a master tariff
  - A lane with a commodity is chosen over a lane without commodity
  - A lane with a matching lane template is chosen over a lane without a lane template
When the Routing Precision for a Tariff is Default Geographic Precision, the value for the Optimization Parameter, RoutePrecisionCriteria will be used to establish the geographic precision rule for lanes and lane constraints. Otherwise, the value for the Tariff will be used when evaluating lanes and lane constraints for the services defined for the tariff.

Routing Precision (using the Tariff value or RoutePrecisionCriteria) is needed to determine specificity of lane constraints when the Optimization Parameter, LaneConstraintSatisfactionCriteria is MOST_EXACT or ADDITIVE.
Payment Currency: The payment currency for this tariff. Vouchers generated for transactions rated using this tariff will be payable in this currency. Editable in Update mode.
Rating Currency: The default rating currency for this tariff. Not editable in Update mode. All minimum, maximum, base, surcharge and discount amounts defined at service or charge level for this tariff are expressed in this currency. The default rating currency can be overridden for an individual rate for the tariff. Note: Routing restrictions that define minimums and maximums for declared value and order value for services, equipment types and lanes are expressed in base system currency.
Distance Engine: Optional. If specified, distances and transit times computed by routing process will be computed using the designated distance engine else distances and transit times will be computed using the default distance engine for the applicable country or countries. Editable in Update mode. However, the Distance Engine for a tariff cannot be removed if it would cause existing distance transit time overrides referencing the tariff (including related referential tariffs) to become “orphans”.
Exchange Rate Group: Optional. If specified, all currency conversions for rating, vouchering and payment for a transactional entity using this tariff will use exchange rates from this source. Otherwise, the default exchange rate group will be used. Editable in Update mode.

Unit of Measure

Fields in this section are not editable after at least one Service has been created for the tariff. All are mandatory.

Unit of Measure Type: Possible values are: Metric, Imperial. Values for other Unit or Measure fields will be refreshed if this value is modified.
Distance: Must be Miles if Unit of Measure Type is Imperial and Kilometers if Metric. All distance values (excluding routing restrictions) associated with this tariff will be expressed in this Unit of Measure. Distance based rates will be expressed as a rate per this unit of measure.
Weight: Can be Pounds or Tons if Unit of Measure Type is Imperial. Can be Kilograms or Metric Tons if Unit of Measure Type is Metric. All weight values (excluding routing restrictions) associated with this tariff will be expressed in this Unit of Measure. Weight based rates will be expressed as a rate per this unit of measure.
Length: Can be Inches or Feet if Unit of Measure Type is Imperial. Must be Meters if Metric. Value controls both linear and cubic dimensions. For example: If Length UOM is Feet, Volume UOM will be Cubic Feet. Length UOM will qualify all occurrences of Length, Width, Height and Laden Length (excluding routing restrictions) associated with this tariff. All volume values (excluding routing restrictions) associated with this tariff will also be expressed using this Unit of Measure. Dimensional and volume based rates will be expressed as a rate per this unit of measure.

Customer Tariff Selection

Note: The Customer Tariff Selection section will appear only when maintaining customer specific tariffs (that is, tariffs used for A/R rating).

Consignee Group: The consignee group. Optional. If specified, the tariff will be considered by A/R routing requests only if the consignee group for the destination location matches this value. Editable in Update mode.
Project ID: The project ID. Optional. If specified, the tariff will be considered by A/R routing requests for shipments only if the Project ID for the shipment matches this value. A tariff with a Project ID cannot be used for other types of A/R routing request (that is, rate calculator, NOF). Editable in Update mode.
