Air Charge Code Maintenance
|
Overview |
The Charge Code Maintenance database lets you define charge codes according to IATA standards. Each charge code indicates the way freight charges and other expenses, relating to a shipment, are to be paid. Notes: Freight
Charges are charges for transporting a shipment from origin to destination.
These charges are typically calculated according to the weight of the
shipment or the number of containers, depending on the type of cargo. Other
expenses are all other charges relating to a shipment (e.g., handling fees,
documentation fees, telephone charges, etc.). You can do a lookup to the Charge Code Maintenance table from the Charge Code field on the General Entry screen. |
