Creating Rates and Services Manually
The Rate Maintenance option RM in Windows UI allows you to enter and maintain carrier rates. These rates, which are associated with a carrier service, are then used in:
• Calculation of shipment charges when rating a shipment transaction.
• Freight rate shopping to offer a choice of carrier services.
• Freight shop quotation without an existing shipment transaction.
The RM screen is a one-stop-shop that you can use to:
• Add new services and the associated rates and zones.
• Update rates for an existing service.
• Review expired and future rates for existing services.
• Add or delete accessorials for a particular service.
• Expire rates for an existing service.
• Create and maintain LTL/TL services based on carriers giving discounts off standard base tariff structures such as Yellow Freight or Czar Lite rate structures. See
SMC Integration.
Note: The RM screen is not used for maintenance of the standard base tariffs such as Yellow Freight or Czar Lite rate structures.
