Creating Contract Rates

Contract rates are agreed upon by a carrier and a specific forwarder. Contract Rates are also created in the Prices screen by entering the Agent Code in the Agent field.

Depending on your system configuration, the Prices screen appears either as Prices KG if your units are in kilograms or Prices LB if your units are in pounds.

1. Navigate to the Sell Price (Prices) screen. You can do this by clicking Pricing > Sell Prices.
2. Click Add (Ins). Some fields are automatically populated based on the settings of the currently logged on user.
3. Complete the mandatory fields.
   1. In Agent, enter the forwarder or Agent to whom the rate applies. You can retrieve available agent codes from the database by clicking .
   2. Enter the Origin and Destination where the rate applies. You can also enter the Origin Zone and Destination Zone if you want the rate to be applicable to a wider area.
   3. Select the Price Type or price template from the drop-down list. The Price Type selected determines the columns in the Weight Break table.
   4. Define the effectivity period of the rate. The Effective Date is the begin date of the effectivity of the price record. Optionally, you can also set the end date of the effectivity of the price record by entering Termination Date. You can select the date from the calendar by clicking beside Effective Date or Termination Date.
   5. Complete the Weight Break table.
4. Optional: You can use the other available fields to further refine the rate. Most of the fields limit the rate so that the rate is only applicable in specific situations.
5. Click OK.

The rate is saved. Once verified, the created rate is applied to a shipment that satisfies the conditions specified in the rate.
