Change in tariff set management
16/05/2008
As of May 14th, activated sets may only be edited within 24 hours after activating the set.
This also concerns sets that are already activated.
When you open an activated set in 'edit sets' AFRA will display a warning that it is not possible to change the already activated set.
Of course, changing your rates is still possible, but will have to be done by copying the contents of the old set to a new set, and editing this new set.
You should then, of course, expire your old set to avoid having double or conflicting rates in the system.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the AFRA Helpdesk.
