Demurrage and Per Diem rates, Calculation Mode

DVU users can review this information on the Advanced page. However, DVU users must open a different page to add or configure these values.

How to Add Demurrage and Per Diem Rates

Note Pro Number and Reference Number are optional fields.

Locating the Carrier Details section

  1. Open a shipment/load or pending quote.

  2. Click Advanced on the side menu.

  3. Scroll down to the Carrier Details section.

Creating a carrier quote

DVU users can create multiple quotes. However, the DVU user can enable only one quote per shipment/load or pending quote.

To create a quote:

  1. Click the Quote plus (plus) icon. A popup window displays.

  2. Click the Carrier field and select a name on the drop-down menu. Enter a few letters of a carrier name to prompt the Davinci auto-suggest feature or use the search tool.

  3. Enter the carrier’s fee in Rated Quote field.

  4. Add an FSC percentage. (optional)

  5. Fill in the remaining fields as needed.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Add more carriers. (optional)

  8. Click Save on the next page.

Note To add a carrier to the list of options, go the WMS and open the Carriers page. Learn more.

Enabling a carrier

Creating a quote does not automatically add the carrier to a shipment/load or pending quote. To add one carrier quote to a job, complete two steps.

Step 1

  1. Go to the Carrier Details section.

  2. Click the plus (plus) icon.

  3. Go to the Selected column and check the box next to the carrier you want to add to the job.

  4. Click Save.

Step 2

  1. Go to the General page.

  2. In the Partners section, click the Carrier field and select the same company name that appears in Step 1.

If the name in Step 1 matches the name in Step 2, Davinci automatically pulls the carrier quote cost into the Profit calculation.

Note If the Step 1 Carrier field is blank or there is a mismatch in Step 1 and Step 2 names, the Profit calculation does not include a carrier cost.

Checking the results

DVU automatically pulls the selected fee from the carrier quote to the General page and uses that number to calculate the Profit for this shipment.

To confirm this number, go to the General page and remove the Rate Tariff (or Spot Price) for the job. With no job revenue, the negative profit should equal the fee (rate plus FSC) that appears in the Carrier Quote window.

 

Entering an LFD date

Use the date picker to set the last free day to return the equipment.
