In PRECISION, the Routing Guide enables you to configure rules that allow the user to assign a particular service to a shipment or to rate shop from a list of available services. Typically, a Routing Guide is configured for a whole business. The Routing Guide determines which carrier service to use for shipping from a particular origin. If a business is segregated by country, region, or product types, you can split the Routing Guide into appropriate sections to handle the different divisions of the business.

This document describes how to configure Routing Guide rules for use during rate shopping, service assignment, and service selection validation.
