You can associate a shipping carrier with one or more accessorial assignments for surcharges, such as fuel surcharges. When you rate a shipment, you can calculate accessorial charges and assign those charges to freight transportation services.
Set up an accessorial assignment
You can set up an accessorial assignment with an optional detail level. For example, you can set filtering options that limit the accessorial assignment to apply for a specific warehouse during a specific period.
To set up an accessorial assignment, follow these steps:
Click Transportation management > Setup > Rating > Accessorial assignments.
On the Details FastTab, in the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the accessorial assignment.
