How to make the Fuel Surcharge Rate Factor Apply to an Accessorial than Base Cost?
Hi OTM Community,I have a requirement where I need to set up Fuel Surcharge increase or decrease against the initially agreed fuel component accessorial. I have set up the Rate Factor and Rate Factor Rule. I have set it as an Acessorial default as the adjustment will be uniform for all carriers. However, the fuel component rate will be different percentage per carrier per lane.
Hence we need to apply this as an Accessorial on the Rate offering initially when we set up rates. Every month, this will be adjusted based on the EU Fuel Price index. For this, (as mentioned above) rate factor has been set up. While testing this, I can only make the rate factor percentage value ( 3% in my case) work against the base cost and not against the fuel component accessorial.
