Issues Resolved

Critical Bug Fix: Service Level Detection

Problem: Initial run found 0 service levels.

Root Cause: Code was scanning column A for service level headers, but they are actually in column B.

Solution:

# BEFORE (incorrect):
cell_a = sheet.cell(row_idx, 1).value # Column A
# AFTER (correct):
cell_b = sheet.cell(row_idx, 2).value # Column B

Impact: After fix, successfully detected all 9 service levels and generated 47 rate card sheets.

Services Skipped (9 total)

These services could not be mapped due to missing service levels in the source rate card:

Recommendations

Immediate Actions

  1. Fix Typo in Mapping File:

    • Change “COMMERICAL GROUND 2025” → “COMMERCIAL GROUND 2025”
    • This will enable FEDEX GROUND mapping
  2. Verify Customer Name:

    • Current output shows empty customer name (Row 2, Column 2)
    • Check OVERVIEW sheet in source file for customer data
  3. Review Missing Services:

    • Determine if Asendia, International, Passport, and Return services need rate data added to source

Optional Enhancements

  1. Sheet Name Abbreviations:

    • Implement smarter abbreviation logic to avoid truncation
    • Current: “01_DHL_DHLECOMMERCE DHL SM _202” (truncated)
    • Better: “01_DHL_SMP_GND_2025” (full, readable)
  2. Total Sum Formula:

    • Add formula to Summary sheet column 13 to calculate total rates per sheet
  3. Data Validation:

    • Add cell validation rules for rate values
    • Highlight missing or unusual rate values

Conclusion

The freight rate card generation was successful. The output workbook contains:

  • ✓ 48 total sheets (1 summary + 47 rate cards)
  • ✓ Proper structure and formatting throughout
  • ✓ Correct zone handling (Zone 1 populated)
  • ✓ Accurate weight splitting for appropriate services
  • ✓ Proper accessorial charges applied
  • ✓ All detected service levels utilized

The generated workbook is ready for review and production use after addressing the customer name issue and optionally fixing the FEDEX GROUND mapping typo.
