Fuel Surcharge

The screen is used to add a fuel surcharge to loads depending on Plant Location and/or Carrier,  and the date the load was delivered.

To get to the Fuel Surcharge screen, use the Accounting tab on the main menu at the top of the screen, then click on Fuel Surcharge (Figure 1 below).

Adding a New Fuel Surcharge

Figure 2

To add a new Fuel Surcharge, fill in the applicable items on the top row:

1. Location
2. Carrier
3. Start Date (Must be after the previous start date, ie. in this case after 01/04/2018)
4. Percentage (Must be a non negative number)
5. Current Fuel Price (Must be a non negative number)
6. Fixed (Must be a non negative number)

After filling in all fields to be added, click the "+" button (Yellow box in Figure 2) to add the surcharge. Adding this new surcharge will make the previous day from the new start date the ending date for the last surcharge. For example if we made the start date for the new surcharge 01/06/2018, then the ending date for the surcharge starting 01/04/2018 (Purple box in Figure 2) would become 01/05/2018.

Edit a Surcharge

You can only edit the Location, Carrier, Percent, Current Fuel Price, and Fixed of a previous surcharge. To do so, change the field(s) corresponding to the row(s) you wish to adjust, then click the "Save" button (Green box in Figure 2) to save and return to the screen or the "Save & Close" button (Red box in Figure 2) to save and return to the main menu.
