Preface
This guide provides instructions and simple examples that demonstrate how to set up rates and
extract costs for parcel mode shipments via Oracle Transportation Management to Kewill Flagship
external rating engine link.

1. Install Flagship
Follow the instructions provided by Kewill to install Flagship on a machine. This machine should be
connected to the same network as the application server to minimize communications performance
bottlenecks.
Once Flagship is installed, you will need to define the Oracle Transportation Management properties
that specify the communication information. For example:
glog.RatingEngine.Kewill.URL=otm-kewill
glog.RatingEngine.Kewill.port=1200

2. Set Up Flagship
Locations
At least one shipper location should be created. This will correspond to the origin location of shipments
created and rated within Oracle Transportation Management. You will assign a code to this location
within Flagship, referred to as the CUSTNUM (customer number, but you can use letters). Ex:
PHILAPA. In Flagship itself, this will be referred to as the Shipper ID when you add the customer.
Carriers/Services
Once a customer location has been created in Flagship, you must install one or more supported
carriers and services. Each carrier you install for a particular location must be assigned a carrier code.
This is a code that should be unique to the carrier for this location. When you install a carrier, you will
be given the opportunity to select which services are supported.

3. Setup Base Oracle Transportation Management
Oracle Transportation Management and Flagship are orthogonal solutions to similar problems with
vastly different implementations and points of view. Oracle Transportation Management is built to
handle multi-modal transportation and generic costing solutions, and Flagship is designed to solve a
customer-centric problem of consolidated parcel-mode shipping. This makes interfacing between the
two products a little particular.
Locations
The first and most important thing to understand is that all shipments rated via the Oracle
Transportation Management-Flagship combination must originate at a location that corresponds to a
customer location setup in Flagship. This is done by identifying the Flagship CUSTNUM using a special
location reference number. The reference number qualifier is user-definable and is specified by the
global property: glog.RatingEngine.Kewill.RefnumQual. Using the example CUSTNUM seen in the
Set Up Flagship section, it would be:
glog.RatingEngine.kewill.RefnumQual= KEWILL_SFCUSTNUM
Order Releases
As of 6.1.4, it is possible to specify the SFCUSTNUM on the order release using the same reference
number qualifier ID as was used on the location. If the SFCUSTNUM is specified here, it will
automatically override the SFCUSTNUM (if any) found on the origin location. In addition, Oracle
Transportation Management will now take advantage of Kewill's ability (post v4.0) to rate using
origin address components that are not directly related to SFCUSTNUM.
If a shipment originates at a location without a CUSTNUM reference number and an override is not
found on the order release, the rate request will fail and be flagged as infeasible.
Service Providers/Carriers
The concept of a Carrier in Flagship is nearly equivalent to the Service Provider in Oracle
Transportation Management. The difference is a matter of scope. A carrier is a specific subset of
Oracle Transportation Management service providers. A service provider that can act as a carrier for
Kewill-based rating must be explicitly identified as such. This is done by assigning carrier codes (see
the Service Providers/Carriers section) to a service provider alias using the following alias IDs:
“KEWILL GLOBAL CARRIER CODE” and 'KEWILL CARRIER CODE'. The 'KEWILL CARRIER GLOBAL ID'
records the actual name of the carrier as listed in the table below (ex:TNT,UPS,FDX) while ‘KEWILL
CARRIER CODE’ records the value as configured in Kewill Flagship (please see below screen shot).
Example: If ‘TNT’ is the actual carrier associated with the carrier code ‘TNTUK’, then in the carrier data
setup, the user will need to define ‘TNT’ as the ‘KEWILL CARRIER GLOBAL ID’ and ‘TNTUK’ as the
‘KEWILL CARRIER CODE’.
Table 3-1

Carrier Name Kewill Carrier Code Kewill Global Carrier Code
There is a one-to-one relationship between Oracle Transportation Management Rate Services and
Flagship Service Levels. There is no need to use a secondary attribute of rate service to associate with
a Flagship service, so you can define these services directly in Oracle Transportation Management. The
most important restriction is that the rate service ID absolutely must match the desired Flagship
service level. This is illustrated in the screenshot below.
In addition, Flagship has the ability to calculate and return to Oracle Transportation Management the
expected pickup and delivery dates for certain carrier service levels, thus allowing Oracle
Transportation Management to skip this calculation itself. To do this, you must specify a rate service
type of TIMEDEFINITESERVICE.
Note: The TIMEDEFINITESERVICE should not be used in scenarios where applying stop
times and re-driving of the shipment is required, since the re-drive logic dies not support
TIMEDEFINITESERVICE.
Some carriers do not provide expected pickup and delivery dates for all service levels. For these
carrier/service level combinations, an alternate rate service type should be selected, such as
SIMULATION or LOOKUP. Check with Flagship Support for an up-to-date listing of these carrier/service
level combinations.

4. Rating
This section will discuss how to set up basic rating information, using the previous section’s locations,
carriers, and rate services, to invoke and extract costs and time of service information from Flagship.
In Oracle Transportation Management 6.1, there are different ways to invoke an external engine. In
previous versions of Oracle Transportation Management, external engines could only be invoked as
the major part of the contract-level rate offering structure. Only the SMC external rating engine was
available for use at this level. It is now possible to invoke an external rating engine as part of the
calculation of a standard rate cost, including the ability to impose shipment data-based conditions. A
simple example of each will be provided below.
Rate Offering
When setting up the rate offering type, the correct service provider must be chosen, along with the
correct rate service and rate offering type. On the Oracle Transportation Management rate offering
Attributes page, the Kewill Flagship external rating engine is chosen.
On this page, choose the internal representation of a package on a shipment. You can choose to
represent a package using either ship units or ship unit lines.
Rate Record
The rate record’s geography must at least accommodate the location that is associated with the
customer location defined in Flagship.
Three dimensions and weight must be specified for each package (defined by ship units in this
example). A ship unit count greater than 1 indicates multiple packages represented by a single line.
These packages will be rated on an individual basis.
Copyright © 2010, 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 4-1
In addition to package information, one can specify each package as hazmat using Is Hazardous,
Package Item ID, and Hazmat Item ID attributes. The working of hazmat request depends on the
parameter called ‘Run Hazmat Qualification Process’.
Flagship has the ability to calculate many different accessorial costs that can then be returned and
displayed separately from the base shipment cost. Oracle Transportation Management currently
supports few of these accessorials. These are discussed in the Accessorials section of this document.
This rate offering type instructs the Oracle Transportation Management rating engine to perform
calculations using both rate costs and accessorial costs (if any). Rate costs are defined on the rate
record.
Rate Offering
The only important difference in this example is that the Kewill external rating engine is not chosen on
the attributes page.
Note: When invoking Flagship from a rate cost, it is not possible to retrieve the calculated
pickup and delivery dates, so the Rate Service must not be defined using the
TIMEDEFINITESERVICE rate service type.
• CALCFREIGHT represents the total shipment cost. This includes all costs and applicable
discounts associated with the shipment.
• FREIGHT represents the Base Cost (B).
• Accessorial Costs are either anticipated or unanticipated.
4-2 Copyright © 2010, 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
• Anticipated accessorials are the API keys which are defined as part of a Kewill charge token
set and are recognized in Oracle Transportation Management using the planning parameter
KEWILL CHARGE TOKEN SET. These accessorials (A) are: CUSTOMS_CLEARANCE_CHRG,
DRYICE_CHRG/DRY_ICE_CHRG/ DRYICECHRG, FUELCHG, SATPICKCHG, DECVALCHG,
HAZCHG, SATDLVYCHG, CHG_ADD_HNDL, CHG_DLVY_AREA, CHG_DLVY_CONF, CODFEE,
EXTAREA_CHG, HST_SURCHARGE, AVN_INS_CHARGE, DIRECT_CHG, DROP_CHG,
NAV_CANADA_CHARGE and CHG_RESIDENTIAL. Any anticipated accessorials which have not
been manually mapped in the Kewill charge token set to an accessorial code by the user will
display in Oracle Transportation Management with a cost type of OTHER (O).
• Unanticipated accessorials are those which are not specifically requested by Oracle
Transportation Management however they are returned by Flagship. These costs are
calculated as remaining costs (uncategorized costs). These costs, if not mapped to an
accessorial code, are captured as other costs with a cost type of OTHER (O).
The remaining (uncategorized) costs are included in the CALCFREIGHT key and is calculated
by Oracle Transportation Management’s rating logic.
Calculating Discounts
All costs returned from Flagship reflect any applicable discounts. If you want to see a summary of
calculated discounts in Oracle Transportation Management, set the following property to true:
glog.RatingEngine.Kewill.Costs.IncludeDiscount
With this property set to true, a shipment’s freight cost will be adjusted upward to simulate a “pre-
discounted” cost, then a separate discount cost line will appear with the discount amount. Finally the
shipment’s total cost will match the CALCFREIGHT cost received from Kewill.
Presently, this feature is only available for the carrier FEDEX, as Flagship only returns a discount key
for this carrier. For this carrier, the API key for discounts is called TOTDISCOUNT. Again, because all
discounts are already reflected in the costs returned from Flagship, the TOTDISCOUNT key is only
returned for reference. The calculation for remaining costs (including discounts) can be expressed as
follows:

5. Accessorials
Flagship has the ability to calculate many different types of accessorial costs. Oracle Transportation
Management can recognize and support some of these accessorial costs. In order to better
understand the accessorial costs returned from Flagship, OTM provides the ability to map Flagship
codes to OTM accessorial codes.
The API keys which represent these accessorials returned by Flagship are represented in Oracle
Transportation Management as Kewill charge tokens. A list of Kewill charge tokens supported by
Oracle Transportation Management can be viewed on the user interface via Contract and Rate
Management > Power Data > Rates and Codes > Kewill Charge Tokens.
Copyright © 2010, 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 5-1
COD_FEE Collect on delivery This accessorial is automatically calculated if the
fee appropriate carrier and service is specified.
5-2 Copyright © 2010, 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
EXTAREA_CHG Extended area This accessorial is automatically calculated if the
charge appropriate carrier and service is specified.
• Default charge tokens: These charges are automatically returned to OTM and do not need
to be specifically requested. Example: FUELCHG.
• Requested charge tokens: These charges must be specifically requested in order to be
returned to OTM. In order to request a charge, you must assign an accessorial code using the
Kewill Charge Token Set screen, and you must then assign that accessorial code to the order
being planned. Examples are DECVALCHG, SATDLVYCHG, and CHG_DLVY_CONF.
• Charge tokens which require additional information: These charges must be specifically
requested, along with supporting information, in order to be returned to OTM. OTM supports
only a subset of these charge tokens. Just as with requested charge tokens, in order to
request this type of charge, you must assign an accessorial code using the Kewill Charge
Token Set screen, and you must then assign that accessorial code to the order being planned.
Examples are DRYICE_CHRG/DRY_ICE_CHG/DRYICECHG and HAZMAT.
OTM provides the ability to map Flagship codes representing a charge to OTM accessorial codes by
using a Kewill charge token set. All anticipated Kewill charge tokens should be grouped into a Kewill
charge token set. Kewill Charge Token Sets are created via Contract and Rate Management > Power
Data > Rates and Codes > Kewill Charge Token Set in which you can map the Kewill charge tokens to
OTM accessorial codes. In the Kewill charge token set, you can map an OTM accessorial code for
uncategorized accessorials.
Copyright © 2010, 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 5-3
Oracle Transportation Management performs rating using the Kewill charge token set, which is
assigned to the parameter KEWILL CHARGE TOKEN SET. Oracle Transportation Management ships
with a default Kewill charge token set value called DEFAULT_KCTSET in the DEFAULT parameter set.
Some of the Flagship accessorials which OTM supports are listed here.
Hazmat
It is not necessary to specify an accessorial code for Hazmat rating to occur. Hazmat rating is
triggered by the presence of the Hazmat option on the order release line or the packaged item. If an
accessorial code for Kewill Hazmat rating is specified, however, the cost will be flagged as an
accessorial cost and assigned the proper code. Without the accessorial code, the cost will still be
calculated and returned, but flagged as a cost of type OTHER. The key which represents this charge is
HAZCHG.
Dangerous goods (or Hazmat) rating for certain carriers and geographies can involve quite a few
additional pieces of information on each package being shipped. Most of these fields can be entered
directly on the order release line or can be specified on a separately identified object called a Hazmat
Item. Shipments and order releases can then reference the Hazmat Item by specifying the
corresponding Hazmat Item ID. All Kewill Flagship API keys used by UPS, FedEx, and DHL-EU have
corresponding Oracle Transportation Management fields in the order release, order release line,
hazmat item, or hazmat generic tables. If an order release line specifies both a Hazmat Item and
individual hazmat values, the value on the order release line will override the value stored in the
Hazmat Item or Hazmat Generic record.
In order to get a Hazmat charge, it is required to have the Hazmat flag set on either the order release
line or on the packaged item. Additional Hazmat data is required for certain parcel carriers. The list of
additional required fields is identified in the tables below. In order to identify a specific parcel carrier it
is necessary to add a Service Provider Alias (such as 'KEWILL GLOBAL CARRIER CODE') to the service
provider. See Service Providers/Carriers in the Setup Base Oracle Transportation Management section
for a more detailed explanation.
Note:
1) Hazmat rating is currently only supported for UPS, FedEx, and DHL-EU Additional
carriers will be added and verified in upcoming updates.
2) There is a limit on the number of Hazmat Line Items that can be shipped in one
package. This limit varies by carrier. Oracle Transportation Management will try to
rollup/aggregate quantities and weight details of similar hazmat line items (items
having same UN Number, Package Group and Proper Shipping Name) and create
unique hazmat line items based on UN Number, Package Group and Proper Shipping
Name before calling the Kewill Rating Engine.
3) The package-level information below is required for Kewill to rate Hazmat items. These
details are always read from the first line item of a package (SU or SUL). For more
details about each field please refer to the below table.

6. Rating Engine Fatal Exception
As of Oracle Transportation Management version 6.1.5, certain situations will trigger the rating
subsystem to throw a fatal exception. A fatal rating exception is a situation considered severe enough
to completely halt rating and the invoking planning process in progress. This is now set by the addition
of a new planning parameter group called Exception Handling. Within this parameter group, the
parameter FAIL ON FATAL RATING EXCEPTION has been added. To trigger the Fatal Exception, the
value for this parameter must be set to true. Currently, only the following situations will cause this
exception to be thrown:
• The Kewill Flagship engine fails to accept a socket connection during rating.
• The Federal Express fails to communicate with Kewill Flagship during a query for FDX rates.
In normal Oracle Transportation Management operations, a fatal exception will have no impact. If
thrown, the rate will be marked as infeasible, and the rating engine will continue on to evaluate the
next rate. When the FAIL ON FATAL RATING EXCEPTION planning parameter is true, a fatal exception
will instruct the invoking planning process to immediately abort all operations. Bulk Plan, for example,
will halt and no shipments will be created.

The following is a list of carriers that have been certified with Oracle Transportation Management.
Certification means that a representative number of carrier service levels have been installed and
verified within Oracle Transportation Management’s QA environment.
This list also details whether these carriers offer hazmat rating support and package-level cost detail
support. Package-level cost detail means that shipment costs can be captured within Oracle
Transportation Management at the individual package level. Carriers who do not support package-level
cost details can still rate multiple packages within a shipment, however the cost lines for all packages
will be rolled up to the shipment level.
