| | Freight Rate Book (tdpcg0616m000) Freight Rate Book An entity in which you can store freight rate information that
is valid for a given period of time. A freight rate book includes the following elements: - A freight rate book
header, which contains the code, rating method, distance unit, and free
distance.
- One or more freight
rate book lines, which contain the freight rates for a combination of
attributes such as carrier and service level.
The freight rates specified in a freight rate book are subject
to a minimum or maximum weight, distance, or additional rate value. Description Specify a name for the freight rate book. Rating Method The method by which freight rates are categorized. Freight rates are based on Distance or on Zone. In the Search by Distance/Zone field of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session, you can specify how freight rates must be
searched: by Distance, Zone, or
both. Distance Unit The distance unit used to express the
distances defined in the Freight Rate Book.
The distance unit must be of the length type. Free Distance The distance for which there is no charge in the Freight Rate Book. Note If the travelling distance for a shipment line is 10 and
the free distance is also 10, the calculated freight costs are zero.
Consequently: - In the Planning Log (fmlbd0530m000) session, no freight rate book can be found.
- In the Freight Costs Inquiry (fmfrc0540m000) session, no Freight Rate Book Code is displayed and the Freight Rate Source is Manual.
