How the system handles duplicate secondary rates
The following steps illustrate how this feature is used on a typical order in Order Entry. The rating process is the same in Dispatch and Invoicing.
1. Create an order in the Order Entry application using Rate by Detail mode.
2. Add commodities for which you have set up billing rates.
3. Click the Compute Compute button icon. If the system finds duplicate secondary rates, it will do one of the following:
a. Ask
The system displays a message like the following one, asking whether the first secondary charge should be replaced by the second one.
Click Yes to have the system replace the existing secondary charge.
Note: This works well if the secondary charge is based on revenue, because the revenue is more accurate now than it was when the last accessorial was created.
Click No if you do not want the system to replace the existing secondary charge.
b. Replace
The system automatically replaces the first secondary charge with the second one. No message is shown.
c. AddAdditional
Keep the first secondary charge and apply the second one.
4. To view the secondary charges, click the Accessorial Charges Accessory Charge button icon to open the Accessorial and Secondary Charges window.
With Ask or Replace, the system only adds one secondary charge for Hazardous Materials.
With AddAdditional, the system adds two secondary charges for Hazardous Materials.
