The use of mandatory fields in Cargo Office.

Mandatory columns

All published rates in Cargo Office are only valid in correspondence to the conditions set by the carrier. These conditions are published in Cargo Office, or available by the carrier upon request. To simplify the search for rates in compliance with your shipment requirements, Cargo Office displays mandatory fields. The mandatory field contains information like product, validation period, currency, prepaid, etc.

Currency and foreign exchange rates

In some countries, carriers use more than one currency to publish their rates. This makes it very difficult to compare rates at a glance. The same problem can occur if you would like to add import rates to your custom rates. The import rates are often quoted in a currency different from your own currency.

Cargo Office has overcome this problem by adding an option that changes all the rates into one single currency. Cargo Office uses the European Central Bank exchange rates.

To use corresponding currency rates, click the application button in the upper left corner and select Show currency in the application menu. The currency exchange page group is now visible in the rate toolbar. Select the currency code from the currency drop-down list. Cargo Office reloads all rates and recalculates the price if shipment information is available.
The currency column now shows all affected currency codes in purple. Place your mouse pointer in the Currency column to show the original currency and applied exchange rate.
