FCL Rate Admin Module
This guide is intended for prospective users of WWA application who are going to set up
and manage the rates so that FCL Rate Search module can work as intended.
The search module will be available as per the rights assigned to the user. For the
search module to work there is some background work, which needs to be done by the
admin. This is a restricted section on the website.
If you need access to the same, please drop an email to Ecommerce@wwalliance.com
so that they can enable the same for you.
As of now only WWA Admin (BRC Team) have the authority to upload/manage the
rates. WWA Members need to provide the FCL Rates in the CSV format to BRC. In
future WWA can grant the access to members to directly upload the rates instead of
sending those to BRC team.

FCL Rate High Level Process Flow:
 FCL Rate Admin uploads the Rate CSV file.
 WWA Server imports the uploaded file, if file is as per the WWA Standard and
passes the validation criteria rates gets stored to FCL rates database else if it
contains any errors same will be displayed on the Admin screen.

FCL Rate Admin PROCESS:
Only FCL Rate Admin can upload the rates to the WWA. The rates need to be uploaded
in the CSV file format.
Three types of rate can be uploaded to the WWA, Pre carriage, Port-to-Port & On
carriage rates. Sample sheets for the references have been provided for all types of
contracts. See the provided zip file (FCL_RATE_SAMPLES) or else you can also
download the same from Admin – FCL – Contract – Upload Contract.

While uploading the document, the Admin needs to take care of certain data elements
(control columns) as they are configurations/master data, which need to align 100% for
smooth processing. The details of the same are provided below.

CSV Sheet Format:
 Control columns are same in all the sheets (Pre-carriage, Port-to-port & Oncarriage) only difference is that Trade lane column is not required for PreCarriage and On-carriage rates.
 Id, Trade lane, Origin, Origin Region, Routing via, Transshipment, Destination,
Carrier, Commodity, Container Size, and Container Type are the control
columns. Other columns are normal columns where use needs to enter the rates
related valid data.
 Control columns cannot be blank.
 Control columns need to be in sync with the configuration/master data within the
WWA system.
 Configurations are data setup, which will be done by the FCL Rate Admin.
 Since all the data will be uploaded by WWA Admin these all configurations need
to be done before the sheet is uploaded into the system by the WWA Admin

CSV Sheet Validations:
There are predefined sets of validations, which need to be followed for successful
uploading of contract. Validations sets are same for all types of rates (Pre-Carriage,
Port-To-Port, On-Carriage).
 Column A – ID: Sub Contract name must exist in WWA – Sub contract is just a
unique identifier to define the rate; it is a combination of Carrier & Trade lane.
Example: Carrier – Trade lane - 
CMDU – ASEO - SHPT,
CMDU – ASEO –TMGB.
ID name must be same to the Sub Contract Name – If we consider the example
of above sub contract then ID name must be CMDU – ASEO – SHPT.
 These are the configurations to be done by the WWA FCL Rate Admin:
 Column C, E, F & H – Origin, Routing Via, Transshipment & destination
must exist in WWA – This is the Master data which is available on WWA. If the
UN LOC CODE for particular location is not available and it is a valid location
then it needs to be added to the WWA before uploading the CSV file else system
will throw the errors. See the provided zip for a list of UNCODES available on
WWA.
 Column D & G – Origin Region & Destination region must exist in WWA. See
the provided zip for a list of regions available on WWA.
 Column I - Carrier must exist in WWA – This data also comes from master table
& needs to be available in the same. If it is not available & it is valid carrier then
details needs to be added to the WWA before uploading the sheet else system
will throw the errors. See the provided zip for a list of Carriers available on WWA
 Column J - Commodity must exist in WWA – This is a predefined value, which
should be present in the WWA database. If it is not available then it can be
created from WWA – Admin- FCL- Commodity – New.
 Column K & L - Container size & Container type must exist in WWA – See the
provided Zip for list of Container sizes & Container Types available on WWA.
 Valid Date format: YYYY-MM-DD
 Naming convention of file: File name must be same as Sub Contract Name.i.e
CMDU – ASEO - SHPT.CSV, Here .CSV is an extension of the file.
 Note: if any valid control column data is not available in the master data then
contact ecommerece@wwalliance.com to add the same.
