How to generate the Consignment Surcharge Report

The Consignment Surcharge Report can be run by selecting Reports and Consignment Surcharge Report.

This will prompt the modal below:

This modal will allow you to filter down the data which is reported on. 

The fields are:

Date Range - This is where you can set the start and end date of your report (this is run off on a despatch date)

Company - This will be the company you want to run the report for.

Carrier - If you wish to run a report for a specific carrier, you can fill this field out with the carrier's name.

Include Children Flag - If you want to run the report for an organisation, set the company filter as the parent company and then set the Include Children Flag to be YES. 

Include Without Surcharges - If you want to generate the report including the consignments that did not accumulate surcharges, you will set this flag to be YES.

Tags to Filter By – This will give you the ability to adjust the data you wish to return on the report. If you wish to run a report just on specific carrier accounts linked to a tag, you can do it by putting in the tag or tags in the Tags to Filter By section. The report will then only include the consignments created under those accounts.

Tags to Exclude – If you want to exclude or filter out specific carrier accounts in your report. You can use this filter and put in the tags linked to the accounts you wish to exclude from the report. This will then exclude data from that carrier account.

If you want to know how these tags are created, it is outlined here.

Note: You can put in multiple tags on the modal
