3.5.6 3– FUEL FREIGHT PRICING MENU
This menu leads to utility programs that allow you
to setup Freight pricing for the Fuels option. Here you setup and maintain the
price you will be charging or on-charging fuel deliveries from a specific
Carrier to a specific Customer (Debtor). Freight pricing does not change often,
typically, once a year. Because of this, there is no date attached to the
freight records.
The FUEL FREIGHT
PRICING MENU is accessed as item 3 on the FUEL PRICING MENU. On selecting this menu the following screen will
be displayed:

used to charge the Customer.

loads, enter the charge here.

this is the case, enter the rate here. This is a simple dollar amount. The
delivery program will allow you to enter the number of instances pertaining to
a particular delivery.
FUEL TYPE HiFinance will automatically populate these fields (up to 20).
Only Inventory codes that have been tagged as being a fuel type will be show
(see SECTION 7.3.2.4). The table is always
alphabetic.

especially true for blended fuels, eg those that contain Ethanol. Enter the
