Tariff Groups in CargoWise allow related rate cards to be logically grouped, making it easier to apply and report on sets of tariffs together.

Question 2

When setting up a sell rate card for an overseas agent in CargoWise, which party type should be assigned in the 'Debtor' field?

The overseas agent being billed for services

Question 3

Which CargoWise feature enables automatic selection of the cheapest applicable rate card when multiple valid cards exist for a shipment?

Accepted Answer

Best Rate Selection

Answer

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.

Question 4

A CargoWise rate card has a 'Chargeable Weight' rating basis selected. How is the chargeable weight determined for an air freight shipment?

Accepted Answer

Which part of the shipment (e.g., per package, per shipment) the rate basis applies to
