Expedient Cost Tariff allows you to store your Cost Rates for specific service providers, including Airlines, Shipping Lines, Co-Loaders, Transport Carriers, and Overseas Agents.
The Cost Tariff provides your company with a central database to store your companies’ costs. The rates stored in the Cost Tariff will be applied to maintain consistency in the invoicing process to ensure agreed Cost Tariffs are apportioned as per agreements, when Expected Costs are used at your site. If Expected Costs are turned off at your site, you are still able to store Service Providers Cost Rates within the Cost Tariff, however these will not be used in the Auto Rating Process.
The Cost Tariff is used for the following:
- Centralised database for storing agreed Cost Rates which can be easily referenced by all users that have access to Cost Tariff.
- Auto-Rating – Cost Rates will be used for populating the calculated Expected Costs into the charges tab when invoicing, when the Expected Costs system option is turned on. Expected Costs can be reviewed and amended manually within the Job charges tab before preparing the invoice to the customer.
