Here’s a restructured and clarified version of your content for the Rate Service in a carrier portal, breaking down the key elements and simplifying the descriptions: Rate Service Overview The Rate Service defines how the shipment rate is calculated based on various parameters. It includes detailed scheduling, rate determination, and time-based rules that help optimize the cost of transportation. The configuration of a Rate Service ensures that all logistics operations are carried out efficiently and cost-effectively. Below are the key components and attributes of a Rate Service. 1. Rate Service ID Description: The unique identifier for each rate service. Once created, this ID can be assigned to any rate offering. 2. Rate Service Name Description: A descriptive name for the rate service, used for informational purposes and to aid in searching for services within the portal. 3. Driving Penalty Description: The per-hour cost incurred for driving time, excluding the shipment cost. This is factored into the rate service scheduling and routing to minimize overall driving costs. Note: It only applies to scheduling, not the shipment cost. 4. Domain Name Description: Specifies the domain where the rate service is used, ensuring it is applied in the correct context. 5. Rate Service Type Description: Defines the attribute options presented in the Rate Service Details tab. The service type is chosen based on the transportation method and how distance and service time are determined. 6. Calendar Description: Links a specific calendar ID to the rate service, detailing available days and times for service activities. Example: You can define the days and hours that a facility accepts trucks for unloading. Application: The calendar affects scheduling when using DAYDURATION, DISTANCEDURATION, and time-based accessorials. 7. Calendar Activities – PICKUP and DROPOFF PICKUP Time: The latest time trucks can be picked up for transport. DROPOFF Time: The guaranteed delivery time. PICKUP Activity: The time assigned to the system from the END time of the calendar PICKUP activity. DROPOFF Activity: The time assigned from the START time of the calendar DROPOFF activity. Handling Late Arrivals: If the arrival time is earlier than the pickup window's start time, a wait time is automatically created, and the departure time is adjusted to the start of the window. 8. Waiting Penalty Description: The per-hour cost for waiting time. It affects scheduling to minimize driving costs and is used alongside the driving penalty. Note: It doesn’t apply to Air Schedule, Ground Schedule, or Voyage Schedule. 9. Ignore Delivery Location Calendar Description: When selected, it ignores the delivery location calendar during scheduling. This only applies to Day Duration and Distance Duration services. 10. External Voyage Engine Type Description: Select the external voyage engine type for fetching voyage schedules (e.g., P44 or other external services). P44 Engine: If you choose P44, an external system needs to be created to connect to Ocean insights P44. 11. Time Window Tolerance Description: Allows a tolerance period (in hours) to extend allowable pickup and delivery times. For example, setting this to 1 hour means that if a delivery time is set between 2-3 PM, an arrival between 2-4 PM is still considered on-time. 12. Max Wait Time Per Stop Description: The maximum time allowed for waiting to pickup or drop off goods at a stop. Example: If the maximum wait time is 15 minutes, a driver who arrives at 6:30 AM when the stop opens at 7:00 AM is not allowed to wait and must return. 13. Max Longhaul Wait Time Description: Applied to the first delivery stop after a long haul. This accommodates for long delays between the last pickup and first delivery stop. If not set, the Max Wait Time Per Stop will apply. 14. Use Rush Hour Description: When selected, the system factors in rush hour time increases for driving duration, if defined. This only applies to Lookup, Simulation, and External systems. Key Considerations in Rate Service Configuration: Maximizing Cost Efficiency: The driving and waiting penalties are integrated to optimize costs, balancing driving time and waiting periods during transportation. Scheduling Precision: The calendar and time window tolerance settings enable precise scheduling, ensuring shipments are picked up and delivered on time without unnecessary delays. External System Integration: With external systems like P44, you can fetch voyage schedules, which is particularly useful for managing Ocean Freight rates and long-haul services. Service Type Selection: The rate service type determines how distance and service time are calculated. Careful selection of the service type is essential for accurate rate prediction and planning. This structure provides a clear and detailed explanation of each attribute of a rate service, ensuring carriers can efficiently configure and manage their services.
