Charging improvements: View dynamic fuel levies on the Consignment Charge tab

CartonCloud is excited to announce a new feature allowing users to view the fuel levy applied to their charges directly in the “Charges” tab on the consignment.

Previously, users could only see if a fuel levy was applied, and the fuel levy itself wasn’t readily available in the UI to any users - especially customers - until that consignment was invoiced and the invoice summary was accessible. This is often too late to discuss the charge.

With this new feature, the fuel levy will be displayed as an additional line item on the consignment details page which doesn’t affect the total income value. This change does not affect the way invoices display but will provide a clearer understanding of total charges and allow users to access and validate this information earlier than the invoice stage of the billing process.

NOTE: To improve the consistency of charge calculations, we have also made a minor adjustment to manually-added charges. These will now be calculated using the Delivery Run date if it is available - the same as how automatic charges work. If the Delivery Run date is not available, the consignment added date will be used.
