Tariff Management

Overview

To create a shipment in QMS a tariff first needs to be loaded. All shipments in QMS require a tariff, as without one the rates for the routing cannot be calculated and used to create a quote or booking. Each airline will provide its own tariff files with the routes they serve and the applicable rates for each weight break on that routing. Tariffs vary in complexity from airline to airline, some offer simple all-in rates for a set number of origins and destinations. Others offer a far wider range of products and to a variety of destinations, with some even having a separate cost and sell rate, all of which require additional calculations to be completed before the rates can be loaded to QMS. All tariffs that are in the QMS system are listed on the ‘Tariffs’ page of the Admin ‘Carriers’ section. This page not only lists all available tariffs but with the right permissions the users can create,

How to Access Tariffs

The first thing that we need to cover is how to locate the tariffs already within the QMS portal. This can be done by following the steps below:

1. First select ‘Admin’ in the top right of QMS (1).
2. With the Admin section open, the user will need to select ‘Carriers’ from the navigation bar (2).
3. This will open a list of functions/pages including one titled ‘Tariffs’. Selecting ‘Tariffs’ will load the Tariffs page of QMS (3), this page features not only a full list of all available tariffs but filter functionality and import functionality.
