Costs

This section provides a detailed breakdown of each shipment cost by cost type based on initial shipment planning or manual cost entries.

Use the Cost Type field to select the cost type that best fits:

• Base: The base cost associated with the shipment as determined by the standard basis options defined on the rate. If you are entering a base cost manually, enter a value in the Shipment Cost field and select the currency you want. The Base Cost Type does not include charges for Accessorials, Discounts, or Stop-offs as defined on the rate or entered manually.
• Accessorial: This cost appears for any charge that is a result of an accessorial being applied to the shipment as a result of shipment planning or manual entry. It can be a calculated surcharge that applies to the shipment based on accessorial codes that are assigned to the rate that was used for the shipment. It can also represent a fixed charge that is not calculated based on any accessorial code assignment on a rate.
• Stop-Off Charge: This cost represents the calculated stop-off charges based on the total number of shipment stops and the Per Stop Charge defined on the rate offering that was used to rate this shipment.
• Discount: This cost is the calculated discount amount based on the rate cost discount defined on the rate record that was used to rate this shipment or entered manually.
• Circuity: This cost defines how the circuity of a multi-stop route affects the rate. Sometimes a service provider may offer a rate that charges based on the first and last stops in a route, while not charging for any stops in between. To be cost-effective, service providers often require that the mid-points of the route be within a reasonable distance of the end points.
• Other: A cost other than those cost types mentioned above that was entered manually.
