Manage Options

4min

Introduction

For practical purposes, it is sometimes important to include multiple shipping scenarios within a single quotation. These scenarios are referred to as "quotation options."

For example, a small shipment that is not time-sensitive can allow consideration of both LCL and airfreight shipping options or an FCL shipment that can depart from either port X or port Y.

Logic facilitates the management of these situations by grouping charges into options and calculating the profit for each enabling clients to easily compare and make decisions.

Conditions

  • An existing quotation is required in order to start adding charges and grouping them into options.
