NEWAbility to Calculate Available via Inland Rates Screen Now Available

Previously, you could only use the Inland Rates screen to retrieve a list of inland rate tables from WebSimon. Now, if your organization has this functionality, you can calculate inland rates from this screen.

Important: Because this is an optional feature, WebSimon will only provide inland rate calculations if your company has implemented this functionality. To implement this functionality, please contact your account manager.

When implemented, the Inland Rates screen will display two radio buttons, as shown in the screen diagram below.

If you select the Inland Rate Lookup radio button, the screen will display fields that enable you to retrieve a list of inland rates.

If you select the Inland Rate Calculation radio button, the screen displays a number of new, optional fields, highlighted on the screen diagram below. These fields enable you to modify the values that WebSimon uses to calculate rates for an inland point.

1.       Click the Inland Rate Calculation radio button on the Inland Rate screen.

2.       Enter the Shipping Date, Tariff Code, and Inland Point, all of which are required.

NEWText Search Added to Calculable Contract Rate Search

Previously when you were searching for calculable contract rates, you could not use search words to specify information about the commodity you wanted to ship.

Now, when you select the Calculable Contract Rates radio button on the Contract Search page, shown below, the screen will display the Search Words field.

 

After you click Search, WebSimon will search for the search words you entered in:

·         Commodity text

·         Commodity public notes

·         Commodity private notes

·         TLI public notes

·         TLI private notes

Text that matches your search words is highlighted in these sections on the results screens, as shown in the example below.
