Tariff Set Search
Summary
Where to find the Tariff Set Search?
The Tariff Set search can be found on the menu under ‘Search’ --> 'Tariff Set Search'
The Tariff Set search screen
This search option will return a list of tariff sets where at least one tariff in the set match the criteria specified.
1. Market, Origin, Destination, Carrier
The market is predefined, depending on the account settings. When more then 1 market is assign to the account, the market has to be filled in.
Origin and Destination can be based on a city- or airport-code, a zone or on a market/country*. When typing, a list of possible codes are displayed from which a selection may be made. To search for multiple codes, the 3-letter codes should be comma-separated i.e. JFK,NRT,KIX.
* Possible codes at origin and destination
- Airport codes: a plain 3-letter code: this is an airport-code (or a city-code without any available airport codes. i.e AMS)
- City code: 3-letter code between square brackets: This is a city code, which can cover one or multiple airport codes. i.e. [LON]
- Zone code: a code between curly brackets: This is indicating it is a zone-code. A zone can contain mulitple airport and/or city codes i.e.{US1}
- Country/market code: a 2-letter code between curved brackets i.e. (US)
The Carrier should be based on the 2 (or 3) letter code of the carrier. When typing, a list of possible codes are displayed from which a selection may be made. To search multiple codes, the 3-letter codes should be comma-separated i.e. BA,CX,EK.
Marking the checkbox in front of ‘Predefined carrier only’, the result will only show the preferred carriers. Preferred Carriers can be set up under ‘Settings --> Preferred Carriers’
The Market, Origin and Carrier can be pre-defined in the ‘User Preferences’ which can be adjusted at ‘settings --> user preferences’. See the helpsection at that page for more information.
2. Date, Status
The date can be adjusted to search from a date in the past or future.
The status fields Active, Future and Expired can be selected to display the appropriate results.
3. Keyword, DGR, SHC/SCS, x-ref
These fields can be used to further refine a search based on the DGR column and the Special Handling codes and/or Specific Commodity Codes.
AFRA supports the IATA TACT SCR numbering system for special commodity rates.
When tariffs are created in the system they can be created with either SHC or SCR codes.
Searching is possible on either SHC or SCR.
When using the checkbox underneath the field “Use SHC/SCR cross reference”, AFRA will attempt to cross reference the search criteria with the appropriate tariffs in the system.
4. Tariff-type and calculation method
The search results can be refined based on the tariff-type i.e. general rates and the calculation method i.e. Weight break or ULD. One or multiple selections can be made for each of both. When no selection is made, all types and methods will be searched for.
Once all criteria are set, press [search] to execute the search.
Depending on the settings in the user preferences the ‘search criteria’ and the ‘advanced criteria’ will collapse to enlarge the result-screen or remains expanded. Both parts can also be collapsed/expanded manually by using the ‘–‘ or ‘+’ icons at the left side of each section.
