A CargoWise administrator needs to restrict a rate card so it only applies to shipments moving via a specific carrier. Where is this restriction configured?
Answer: On the rate card header under 'Carrier'
The Carrier field on the rate card header restricts auto-rating to shipments assigned to that specific carrier, filtering out all others.
Which CargoWise feature lets a rate manager define escalating rates for different weight brackets (e.g., 0–100kg at one rate, 101–500kg at a lower rate)?
Answer: Weight Break Tariff
A Weight Break Tariff in CargoWise allows multiple charge lines at different weight thresholds, each with its own rate per unit, modeling standard airline and freight tariff structures.
In CargoWise, when the 'Quantity' field on an auto-rated charge line is left blank, how does the system determine the quantity to apply?
Answer: It derives the quantity from the shipment's actual measurement matching the rating basis
CargoWise automatically populates quantity from the shipment's measurement data that corresponds to the selected rating basis (e.g., weight, volume, pieces).
A sell rate card and a buy rate card both exist for the same lane in CargoWise. What distinguishes which one is used to generate a supplier invoice vs. a customer invoice?
Answer: Whether the card has a Debtor (sell) or Creditor (buy) assigned
A rate card with a Debtor produces a customer (AR) invoice, while a rate card with a Creditor produces a supplier (AP) accrual — the party type determines the financial direction.
When using CargoWise's 'Rate Enquiry' function, what is the primary output provided to the user?
Answer: A simulation of charges that would apply based on current rate cards without creating a shipment
Rate Enquiry simulates the rating engine against entered shipment details, showing which rate cards match and what charges would result — without creating any actual records.
A CargoWise rate card has a 'Surcharge' charge code with a parent charge code of 'OFR' (Ocean Freight). What dependency does this create?
Answer: The surcharge is only rated if the ocean freight charge is also present on the shipment
Assigning a parent charge code creates a conditional dependency — the surcharge only activates when the nominated parent charge exists on the same job.
Which CargoWise permission controls a user's ability to override an auto-rated charge amount with a manual value?
Answer: Override Charge Amount
The 'Override Charge Amount' permission in CargoWise Security must be granted before a user can manually edit an auto-rated charge value on a job.
