Overlap & activation

2 active rate cards overlap with this upload

The file you uploaded — VRL FY26 North Lanes v2 (01 Apr 2026 – 31 Mar 2027, VRL Logistics) — overlaps in carrier + date range with the following active cards:

Rate card	Scope	Effective period	Overlap type	Status
VRL FY26 North Lanes v1 RC-FTL-00142	India · VRL Logistics	01 Apr 2025 → 31 Mar 2026	Carrier-level Same carrier, date overlap	Active
VRL National Pack FY26 RC-FTL-00089	Enterprise · All carriers	01 Jan 2026 → 31 Dec 2026	Network-level Network card, date overlap	Active

How overlaps are resolved

The pricing engine uses a fall-through cascade — not stacking. For any trip, it evaluates all matching rows and applies the highest-specificity tier only:

Tier 1 — Carrier + Route + Vehicle type (most specific, wins outright)
Tier 2 — Carrier + Route
Tier 3 — Carrier only
Tier 4 — Network default (least specific, fallback)

If you proceed, this upload will be held in Draft. The active cards above are not deactivated now — they remain live until you explicitly activate this version.

I confirm that 20 Ready-for-payment trips and 12 completed unpaid trips will be repriced using the new rates. Existing cost entries will be overwritten.

How cascade pricing works

For every trip, the engine evaluates all matching rate card rows and applies the highest-specificity tier. It never stacks rows from different tiers for the same charge type.

Precedence tiers — highest to lowest

First matching tier wins outright. Lower tiers are ignored.

1

Carrier + Route + Vehicle type

Most specific. Applied when all three dimensions match exactly. Wins over all lower tiers unconditionally.

e.g. VRL · Delhi→Mumbai · 32ft MXL · ₹49,500

2

Carrier + Route

Applied when carrier and route match but no vehicle-type-specific row exists. Covers all vehicle types on that lane.

e.g. VRL · Delhi→Mumbai · any vehicle · ₹45,000

3

Carrier only

Carrier-wide rate with no route constraint. Applied when no carrier+route row exists. Covers all routes for this carrier.

e.g. VRL · any route · any vehicle · ₹40,000

4

Network default

Lowest specificity. Used only when no carrier-specific row matches. This is the final fallback — never overrides a carrier row.

e.g. All carriers · any route · any vehicle · ₹35,000

Worked example — Delhi → Mumbai, 32ft MXL, VRL

How the engine resolves this trip when all 4 tiers have a matching row

Tier 1

VRL + Delhi→Mumbai + 32ft MXLCarrier + Route + Vehicle — exact match

₹49,500 · Applied

Tier 2

VRL + Delhi→MumbaiCarrier + Route — Tier 1 already matched, skipped

Skipped

Tier 3

VRL (all routes)Carrier only — Tier 1 already matched, skipped

Skipped

Tier 4

Network defaultAll carriers — Tier 1 already matched, skipped

Skipped

Result: ₹49,500 applied (Tier 1). Tiers 2, 3, and 4 are evaluated but ignored. This is a fall-through cascade, not a stacking model — only one tier's rate is ever applied per trip per charge type.

If Tier 1 had no matching row: The engine falls through to Tier 2. If Tier 2 also has no match, it falls to Tier 3, then Tier 4. The network card (VRL National Pack FY26) is the last resort — it is never deactivated by a carrier-level upload.
