Dear Pals,

On one of the presentation of SIG conference posted by Chris, I read that we can automate the weekly Fuel Surcharge process, directly by getting DOE fuel price from website and updating the required OTM tables. Could any one tell me how can we achieve this?

Cheers,
Lakshman

Hi Lakshman,

FuelSurcharges can be automated using Rate Factors in OTM.Using Rate Factor, Fuel Surcharges can
be copied into shipments,as accessorials during the planning.This can be found under Contract and Rate Management > Power Data > Rate Factor & Rate Factor Rule

I think he is talking about the extracting the Fuel surcharge data fron DOE site directly and updaing it automatically through Rate Factor rule
