In CargoWise, what is the purpose of a 'Tariff Group' when applied to a rate card?

Tariff Groups in CargoWise allow related rate cards to be logically grouped, making it easier to apply and report on sets of tariffs together.
When setting up a sell rate card for an overseas agent in CargoWise, which party type should be assigned in the 'Debtor' field?

Which CargoWise feature enables automatic selection of the cheapest applicable rate card when multiple valid cards exist for a shipment?
Answer: Best Rate Selection
The Best Rate Selection feature evaluates all applicable rate cards and automatically chooses the one producing the lowest cost for buying rates or highest revenue for sell rates, depending on configuration.
A CargoWise rate card has a 'Chargeable Weight' rating basis selected. How is the chargeable weight determined for an air freight shipment?
Answer: The greater of actual weight and volumetric weight
For air freight, CargoWise calculates chargeable weight as whichever is greater: actual gross weight or volumetric weight (using the 6,000 cm³/kg conversion factor).
What does the 'Apply To' field on a tariff charge line in CargoWise determine?
Answer: Which part of the shipment (e.g., per package, per shipment) the rate basis applies to
The 'Apply To' field specifies the unit the rate basis references — for example whether the rate applies per package, per shipment, or per consol.
In CargoWise, which tab within a Rate Card holds the individual charge lines (e.g., freight, fuel surcharge, handling)?

A tariff manager needs to prevent a rate card from being used beyond its agreed volume threshold. Which CargoWise field on the rate card supports this control?
