Forwarding Contract Strategy

General

When it comes to contracts, the amount of rates agreed can become overwhelming and therefor the maintenance of contracts or price changes can become complex or time consuming. Contracts can be agreed in different time windows or have different variations in surcharges or calculations. A customer might have agreed rates for specific regions, but follow a generic (all customer) rate for other regions, or surcharges such as B/l fees follow the generic rates and price increases.

Contract strategies can be used to apply multiple contracts in order to handle various aspects of freight rates and shipment-related costs or revenues.

Demurrage / Detention strategy

The standard contract strategy specified in the Forwarding setup will be used for all Demurrage / Detention calculations.

In the contract strategy you can setup which contracts are to be used for the Demurrage and Detention calculations.

In the Revenues & Costs FastPane use the Source Type and Source No. fields when a customer or customer price group has non standard rates.

To specify the No. of free days and/or Discounts, choose the Agreed Demurrage/Detention Lines action.

Agreed Demurrage / Detention Lines

In the Agreed Demurrage / Detention Lines you can specify the No. of Free days, No. of Extra Free Days and Discount % fields. The Source Type and Source No. fields can be used to setup agreements for All customers, Customer Price groups or specific Customers.
