The Cargo Settings window contains the following configuration tabs.
The Client Detect tab defines automatic assignment rules for Payer and Client in bills of lading.
Adding a Rule
Click the button (bottom-left corner).
Specify:
Payer and Client;
Matching conditions (Shipper, Consignee, Notify, Cargo Type).
Auto-Fill Behavior
If the selected Payer has predefined clients in their (Contacts Module → Contact card → Accounting tab → Invoices subtab), the Client field is automatically filled with the first available option.
When a bill of lading is created (via file parsing or the web portal), the system evaluates the defined rules and automatically assigns Payer and Client values if matching conditions are found.
Rates Section
Defines Rate Types (Boxes (mini), Pallets (mini), Tons, M2, Colli, M3) based on the selected cargo type.
Multiple cargo types can be configured.
BAF Coefficient Section
Specifies default BAF multipliers for each packaging type (configured in the admin panel → Cargo Module settings).
These values are applied during Freight Invoice calculations in the
Rate & BAFfields.Priority Rules:
If a client’s contact card contains BAF coefficients (Contacts Module → Contact card → Cargo tab → Client Rates subtab), those values take priority.
If client-specific coefficients are not defined, the system applies the default values from Cargo Settings.
