The Tariff Rating Currency defined at Tariff header level can be overridden for a specific Tariff Rate.
Rating will take into consideration that the Tariff Rating Currency may not be the same for all Tariff Rates when it evaluates the total cost of a potential route.
The following factors are applicable for a Currency defined at the Tariff Rate level:
All the Rates defined for a Tariff Service / Charge / Rate Code / Freight Class / Equipment Type / Effective Date / Expiration Date [some of these are optional] combination will be considered as having the Base Charge, Minimum Charge and Maximum Charge amounts expressed in the Rate Currency.
When the Rate Currency is different from the Tariff Rating Currency and Rate Range is applicable, Range ID override at the Rate level will allow users to select a Range ID that is compatible to the Rate Currency.
The Range Breaks used if the associated Charge ID has a Lookup Unit of Freight Amount, Order Value or Declared Value, will be considered as being expressed in the Rate Currency. Conversion of input units for monetary amounts will be concerted, if necessary. The Rate and Base Charge for each range will be expressed in the Rate Currency.
All Rates defined for a Tariff / Service / Charge / Rate Code combination must be in the same Rate Currency, and if Range is applicable, must have the same Range ID, so that rating across freight classes, equipment types, or date ranges for the combination will have a consistent currency for comparison.
All Surcharges/Discounts for a Rate will be considered having the Flat Amounts defined in the Rate Currency. Computed Surcharges/Discounts Amounts will also be in Rate Currency.
When a Rate Currency is different from the Tariff Rating Currency, the Base Charge, Minimum Charge, Maximum Charge and Flat Amount for Surcharge/Discount at the Charge level will be ignored. If required, these values should be defined at the Rate level in the Rate Currency.
Freight Charge Amount is aggregated in Tariff Rating Currency. Previous charges in different Rate Currency will be converted to Tariff Rating Currency before aggregation.
For Supersede Charge comparison, if the two Charges have rates in different currencies, they will be converted to the same currency before comparison.
A Deficit Charge, computed by Rating, which refers to a Charge Code with a *DFC Freight Class will be in Rate Currency.
Fuel Surcharge Contract will require uniqueness of a Tariff / Service / Charge / Fuel Surcharge Type Currency combination. Only the Rates in currency that match the Fuel Surcharge Type Currency will get updated when Fuel Price for a Fuel Surcharge Type is updated.
The following summarizes values that will be always in Tariff Rating Currency:
All Service level amounts are in Tariff Rating Currency. This includes Service level Surcharges/Discounts Amounts and calculated percentage amounts.
Base Charge, Minimum Charge and Maximum Charge amounts at Tariff Charge level are in Tariff Rating Currency. These values will be ignored when the Tariff Rating Currency and Rate Currency are not equal.
All Charge level Surcharges/Discounts Flat Amounts and calculated percentage amounts are in Tariff Rating Currency. Charge Level Flat Amount will be ignored when the Tariff Rating Currency and Rate Currency are not equal.
For Rate Application and Selection Minimum and Maximum Units, when the associated Master Charge has a Rating Unit of Freight Amount, Order Value or Declared Value, these values will be expected to be expressed in Tariff Rating Currency.
Net Effect calculations for a Tariff Charge that refer to a monetary value are in Tariff Rating Currency.
Rate Currency will be updateable as long as the Rate is updateable and there is only one rate for a unique Tariff / Service / Charge / Rate Code combination. Since Rates from a Master Tariff are not updateable when they are accessed via a Referential Tariff, Rate Currency will not be updatable in this context.
Since the Rate Currency for rates with a unique Tariff / Service / Charge / Rate Code combination must be identical, if there is more than one rate for such a combination, users will not be able to update the Rate Currency one rate at a time. Should the Rate Currency for multiple rates for a unique Tariff / Service / Charge / Rate Code combination need to be updated, users will have delete them and re-create them.
Charge Details refer to separate sets of values for Tariff Rating Currency and Rate Currency. The Original Input Currency Amount and Original Input Currency Code and its Exchange Rate will capture the information in Rate Currency before any system conversion.
