Fuel Surcharge Contracts: 3 and 4 Decimal Place Precision

What’s new

The Rounding dropdown on Fuel Surcharge Contracts now includes two new options:

• 3 Decimal Places rounds surcharge values to the thousandth (e.g., 0.265)
• 4 Decimal Places rounds surcharge values to the ten-thousandth (e.g., 1.2345)

Both options are available for Distance and Percentage contract types.

Why it matters

Some shippers require fuel surcharges calculated beyond two decimals. Choose the rounding level that matches your shipper’s contract terms. The selected precision carries through rating, billing, and rate confirmations.

How to use it

1. Navigate to Customer Contracts > Fuel Surcharge
2. Create a new contract or edit an existing one
3. Set the Type to Distance or Percentage
4. In the Rounding dropdown, select 3 Decimal Places or 4 Decimal Places
5. Enter your fuel matrix values. The system preserves full precision.
6. Save. All downstream calculations reflect your selection.

Note: Existing 2-decimal-place contracts work exactly as before. No action needed unless your shipper requires higher precision.
