A new tab called “Accessorial” has been added to the customer’s profile.

In the Accessorial tab, the following has been added:
Drop down to choose from existing Accessorials and a save button.
Create a New Accessorial
A list of all the accessorials added for this customer.
1. Drop down to choose from existing Accessorials and a save button.
The drop-down has a list of all the existing accessorials on Global Level that can be used to add to the customer's profile and apply to that particular customer. Once the save button is pressed, the system will open accessorial in Edit Mode. The user will add the details that they want to save it. Once the Edit Accessorial screen is saved, it will only be saved in the customer accessorial and not in Setup>Accessorial.
2. Create New Accessorial
The ‘Create New Accessorial’ pop-up is the same that we have in Setup>Accessorial. After adding all the required details, when the user saves the accessorial, it will be added under the global accessorial (Setup > Accessorial). The user can then use the dropdown to add the newly created accessorial to the customer profile. The system does not allow multiple accessorials with the same name.
3. A list of all the accessorials added for this customer.
In the list of accessorials following columns are shown:
