Shipment Options and Equipment

You assign options and equipment to a shipment for any extra service that is required beyond standard operating procedures. You can manually add, change, or delete options and equipment.

The system can store options and equipment at the order line level, delivery level, or load level. This table describes each option:

Level	Option
Order line level	The option appears when a line requires it. Any associated charges are listed for each line that contains the option.
Delivery level	The option appears for each delivery, and any associated charge is assessed for the delivery.
Load level	The option appears for each load, and any associated charge is assessed based on the load.

The system assesses billable charges, payable charges, or both for an option or for a piece of equipment through the rate schedule and rate definition. You can specify that a charge is calculated only if the named option or equipment occurs on the shipment or load.
