Presenting Rating Amounts in Payment / User / System Currency

On lists where rating amounts are presented in Tariff Rating Currency, list customization will allow equivalent amounts to be presented in Tariff Payment Currency and/or User Currency and/or System (a.k.a. Base) Currency. Rating amounts are available on selected lists for ratable entities (i.e. load, trip, shipment, shipment leg or NOF) as well as from the lists that present a detailed breakdown of charges for a single entity. Gross Amount, Surcharge/Discount and Net Amount are consistently available when rating amounts can be selected for presentation via "List Customization (All)".

Rating amounts are provided in Tariff Payment Currency, User Currency or System Currency for guidance purposes only. When any of these currencies is not equal to the Tariff Rating Currency, the Effective Rating Date for the entity will be used to access the applicable exchange rate which will immediately be used to compute the equivalent amount. Since exchange rates for specific date ranges can be modified by authorized users, converted amounts for a given transaction could be different when viewed on a subsequent date, even if no changes have been applied to the ratable entity.

Rating will perform any necessary exchange rate conversions when computing each individual charge. This is applicable when the Rate Currency is different than the Tariff Rating Currency. Totals for Gross Amount, Surcharge/Discount and Net Amount for a ratable entity will be aggregated based on amounts that have been normalized into Tariff Rating Currency. Amounts presented in Tariff Payment Currency, User Currency and System Currency on charge detail lists will be computed by performing exchange rate conversion for the detail amount in Tariff Rating Currency. Rating amounts presented in Tariff Payment Currency, User Currency and System Currency on entity level lists will be computed by performing exchange rate conversion for the total amount for the entity in Tariff Rating Currency. This means that there could be slight differences due to rounding when comparing the sum of charge details in these other three currencies to the amounts that appear on entity level lists. See List of Loads – Rating View (Employee) for an example of where rating amounts appear on an entity list and see Route, Rate and Schedule – Loads (Employee) for an example of where charge details are presented.

When vouchers are created, the payable or receivable amount will be captured in Voucher Rating Currency and Voucher Payment Currency for each charge detail. The total amount in Voucher Rating Currency will be computed by aggregating the detail amounts in Voucher Rating Currency. The total amount in Voucher Payment Currency will be computed by aggregating the amounts in Voucher Payment Currency for each charge detail. Therefore, for vouchers, there will never be a variance between detail and total amounts in Voucher Payment Currency.
