B/L Rates

1. Scrap Rates after the B/L has been posted: It reverses the charges and the invoices zero out. Audit security level required to do this

2. Partial Scrap; used whenever many containers are being rated but only a set of charges are needed, by highlighting the line after the set of charges that they want to keep. If you get out of the rates and go back in, the program is going to keep the rates that you had, in other words, it is not going to re-rate all the containers.

3. Change the billing party on posted and un-posted B/L’s. If only one billing party, the program makes the change at once. If you have several billing parties, it has to be done one by one

4. There is a feature to change the period after the B/L has been posted. The first period that the program will reverse is the current period, period under which the B/L was originally posted. The next period will be the right one. This has to be run carefully; otherwise it will create a big mess in accounting. This is a preliminary option. Carlos is working on developing a from to period option, but it is not ready yet.

5. For multiple containers, after the B/L is rated you can change the commodity of one of the containers without having to scrap the other containers and re-guess. There is a feature to change the commodity in the rating screen, which allows changing the commodity of the selected container, as long as it is not posted. When you highlight one of the rates, the bottom of the screen will display the container number. Make sure to activate the view detail option to make sure that the container that you want to change is the right one.

6. Check Default Rates, based on the rating defaults, compares the current rates with the tariffs from your rating defaults table

7. Whenever an “Other party is used’, it will display at the bottom of the screen, the name of the Other Party. In this way, users can verify the name, before posting.

8. View Memo rates; will open a windows with the rates that apply for the combination of ports, commodity and equipment that you are using
