The appropriate method can be selected from the drop-down list. For example: `From Sell` `From Buy` `Sell - Truck` `Buy - Truck` `Sell-Truck-Prorate` `Sell+Carr-Truck-Prorate` `Sell-Truck-Prorate-Iata` `Sell+Carr-Truck-Prorate-iata` `Sell-Prorate`

The air waybill is not yet invoiced. When repricing is enabled, the application matches the values of the different parameters between the Booking and the Ad hoc Price record. When differences are found, users may either not be allowed to save the Ad hoc record at all or the record may be saved in the system but not be repriced.
Pricing Info: IATA Comm. on Net	IATA commission on net rate. The IATA commission is calculated from the Net Weight Charges and not from the Gross IATA Weight Charges. The commission is based on the Net Amount and not the Freight Charge.

When not selected, the system uses the chargeable weight as the relevant weight for the net price calculation.
Deal Info: No Break Optimization	When selected, the system does not find the cheapest deal according to the weight breaks. Example: The client has a shipment of 37 kg. When No Break Optimization is selected, the system does not search for possible cheaper rates in the 45 kg weight break column. It calculates the deal according to the actual weight.
Deal Info: Deal without Valuation	When selected, the valuation charges are not included in the calculation. You can use this option when carriers do no want to include the IATA Valuation charges into the Deal Calculation (Calculation of Incentive to Agent amount).

E-Mail	The system automatically sends emails for any new irregularity to the email addresses in this field. You can enter multiple email addresses separated by a semicolon.
Default OC	Other charges (OC) codes separated by a comma. The system uses the other charges codes entered here to populate the Other Charges list in the Full AWB screen by default for the carrier.
