Need recommendations for best way to calculate Detention
1) Current Setup / Process we are using:
Accessorial Costs for Detention (DET) using the Rate Basis of Stop Wait Time (duration spent waiting at stop)
Operations opens the Buy Shipments session, clicks on the pencil to edit the Shipment Stop, and then records the quantity of Detention (in H or M) in the Wait Time boxes. The Accessorial Code of DET is added to the Buy Shipment Financial Tab, and a Recalculate Shipment Cost is done to add the Detention Charge to the Shipment.
However, it appears that Stop Wait Time is being updated by status updates entered by the Service Providers (Carriers). The prior Wait Time entry made by Operations is being overwritten.
2) The following Rate Basis Items are available when building Accessorial Costs
Destination Wait Time (duration spent waiting at stop)
Source Wait Time (duration spent waiting at stop)
Stop Wait Time (duration spent waiting at stop)
Destination Total Activity Time
Source Total Activity Time
Stop Total Activity Time
3) However, the Shipment Stop screen has (3) Time fields for consideration
Wait Time
Accessorial Time
Activity Time
Is there a Rate Basis selection that will use the Accessorial Time boxes/fields ? (If that is the best approach).
Recommendations for best way to calculate Detention (and any other time based Accessorial Charge) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
