Supersede rule examples

The following examples illustrate the use of supersede rules, using the tariff conditions and rates in the following table:

Tariff Conditions	Rates
*ALL	No rate (dummy rate code)
WGT	$50
SKID	$70
CUBE	$100
FREI	$120
INPUT	$10/unit (variable charge depending on input value specified by user)

ANY

With *ALL as the Charge ID, if the rule of ANY is applied to the condition of INPUT, and the charge for INPUT is greater than $0, this condition will supersede all other conditions. Note that *ALL should be the first condition in the rating sequence so that all conditions below it are considered.

GE (Greater Than)

Use this rule to have Transportation Manager return charges from other conditions that are greater than the condition/option charges to which the rule is applied. You can apply the rule to all the conditions (using the dummy condition *ALL), or to individual conditions.

Apply the rule to individual conditions by placing the conditions in the appropriate order in the rating sequence, and placing the condition with the supersede rule BELOW the conditions to be considered.

For example: If you want the conditions of WGT and SKID to be considered only if their charges are greater than the charge for INPUT, then you must place WGT and SKID above INPUT in the rating sequence. If you want to consider only WGT and SKID, and no other conditions, then you should place all other conditions below INPUT in the rating sequence.

Using the sample charges in the table above, if you were to enter rating units for the INPUT condition of 15, the charge for INPUT will be $10 x 15 = $150. With the supersede rule of GE, INPUT will be the only charge returned as $150 is greater than all the other charges.
If you were to enter rating units for INPUT of 7.5, the charge for INPUT will be $10 x 7.5 = $75. With the supersede rule of GE, the INPUT condition ($75) along with CUBE ($100) and FREI ($120) will be returned, as each of these charges is greater than the INPUT charge.

LE (Less Than)

Use this rule to have Transportation Manager return charges from other conditions that are less than the condition/option charges to which the rule is applied. You can apply the rule to all the conditions (using the dummy condition *ALL), or to individual conditions.

For example: If you want the conditions of WGT and SKID to be considered only if their charges are less than the charge for INPUT, then you must place WGT and SKID above INPUT in the rating sequence. If you want to consider only WGT and SKID, and no other conditions, then you should place all other conditions below INPUT in the rating sequence.

Using the sample charges in the table above, if you were to enter rating units for the INPUT condition of 3, the charge for INPUT will be $10 x 3 = $30. With the supersede rule of LE, INPUT will be the only charge returned, as $30 is less than all the other charges.
If you were to enter rating units for the INPUT condition of 20, the charge for INPUT will be $10 x 20 = $200. With the supersede rule of LE, all the conditions will be returned, as they all have charges less than $200. INPUT itself would not be returned, as it failed to supersede any other condition.
If you were to enter rating units for the INPUT condition of 8, the charge for INPUT will be $10 x 8 = $80. With the supersede rule of LE, the INPUT condition ($80) will be returned along with WGT ($50) and SKID ($70), as each of these charges is less than the INPUT charge.
