Tariff Profile

This article will continue off of the Tariff Wizard tutorial, and provide you with further information on how to review and utilize the Tariff Profile:

Quick Reference Video Summary:

  • Much like a Shipment Profile, this Tariff Profile allows you to review the details of a tariff, so that you can fine-tune things like requirements, lane details, bill to information, effective date/expiration date, attachments, and more!
  • Clicking Edit Record will allow you to manipulate the editable fields of the Tariff
  • The top-level menu of a Tariff Profile will allow you to view or manipulate the following:
    • Activity Log: shows all the activity performed on the tariff
    • Accessorials: allows you to add tariff accessorials or lane accessorials
    • Tariff Tools: allows you to Attach Documents, Link Tariffs (to Organizations, Customers, and Brokers so that other entities can view these rates), review Liability Coverage, and edit the BOL
    • Import/Export CSV: allows you to import or export a tariff from excel using the Tariff Import Template
      • The Tariff Import Template can be viewed by clicking the Import/Export link and then the 'Template' button
    • Tariff Profiles can be accessed directly from Rates > Tariffs, where you will see a search screen that allows you to search through all of your tariffs and make edits if needed
