Creating a Booking Record with an Ad Hoc Rate

You can apply a specific ad-hoc or spot rate during booking.

  1. Navigate to the Booking screen. You can do this by clicking Main > Booking or by clicking the Booking shortcut button.
  2. Click Add (Ins) or press Insert.
  3. Enter the booking details.
    • If you know the particular AWB to use, you can enter the AWB number in the AWB fields. Upon tabbing out of the AWB fields, the Issue (Issuing Carrier), Origin, Agent, and Currency fields are automatically populated depending on the AWB entered.
    • If you do not have a particular AWB, you can enter the forwarder in the Agent field. Navigate to the second AWB field then press + to automatically populate the AWB number according to the forwarder's next available stock.
  4. Enter the Adhoc Ref. number.
    • If you know the specific ad-hoc rate for the booking, you can enter the reference number in the Adhoc Ref. field.
    • If you need to create a spot rate or ad-hoc rate for the booking, click the Adhoc Ref. button. The system navigates you to the Ad-Hocs screen where you can generate the ad-hoc reference number.
    After creating the ad-hoc rate record, you can navigate back to the Booking screen by pressing the Esc key.
  5. Click OK.
    If you leave out mandatory fields, Cargospot displays the missing fields in red at the bottom part of the screen.
The booking record is saved. Once the ad-hoc rate is verified, the created rate is applied to the booking.
