  3. Make entries in these fields.

    1. Select Settlement in the Folder field.

    2. Select the type of rate in the Key Type field. The options are:

      • Primary
        Calculates freight (line haul) pay

      • Secondary
        Calculates accessorial pay that always applies for a certain type of trip, for example, tarping pay. Secondary rates must be attached to primary rates.

      • Line Item
        Used to calculate accessorial pay that does not always apply. The pay is added manually, on a trip-by-trip basis, such as detention pay.
        Note: Line Item rates are applied only when all these conditions are true:

        • A $.00 pay detail is manually added for a trip segment.

        • The pay type for the accessorial pay detail matches the pay type on this rate.

        • The trip matches the restrictions on this rate.

      • Tax
        Calculates accessorial pay for Canadian taxes

      • Freestanding Accessorial
        Calculates accessorial pay that applies to many or all trips
        Free-standing accessorial rates eliminate the need to attach common secondary rates for things such as tarping, fees or surcharges to all your primary rates. The system applies free-standing accessorial rates automatically to every trip that meets the index restrictions you set.

      • Additional Earnings
        Calculates pay for overtime pay, holiday pay, or other types of additional earnings

    3. Select the pay type in the Item Code field.
      Note: You define pay types in the Pay Type Maintenance window.

  4. Click Create.
    The system closes the Create dialog box.

  5. Do one of the following to record the rate amount(s):

    • Create a single pay rate by recording the rate in the Rate field in the header section.

    • Create a table of rates.
      For details, see Working with table rates

  6. As needed, record other options in the rate header.

  7. As needed, record one or more rate keys (indexes).
    Note: A rate key is a set of restrictions that specifies whether a rate is applicable for a particular order. For details, see Setting up rate keys.

  8. Click image9 Save.
    The system assigns an ID in the Tariff # field and saves the rate.
