Wait, there are two correct answers? Guess the SAP developers couldn't decide on just one way to do it. *rolls eyes* Gotta love those Enterprise Resource Planning systems.

Fuel surcharge, huh? Sounds like the carriers are trying to squeeze every penny out of us shippers. *chuckles* But I guess that's just the way it is in this industry.

I'm leaning towards option D - a rate table with the pricing date as a scale. That seems like the most straightforward way to handle the changing fuel prices.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe we could use an index table (option C) to keep track of the fuel price changes? That way, the calculation would be more automated.

I'm not sure about that. Maybe we should also consider using an index table for the fuel surcharge charge item.

I agree with Cassi. Using a rate table will ensure accurate calculation based on the pricing date.

I think the fuel surcharge should be calculated using a rate table determination rule (option B). This way, the surcharge can be adjusted proportionally based on the fuel price on the pricing date.

I'm not sure, but using a calculation reference for the fuel surcharge charge item might be a good choice too.
