Freight rate retrievalIn Pricing, freight rates are stored to calculate the transportation costs of items listed on:
To determine the transportation costs of, for example, a sales order line, LN retrieves the freight rate from freight rate books. To find the correct freight rate book, LN uses freight rate matrices. Retrieval of the freight rate matrix is based on these fields:
To retrieve freight rates from a freight rate matrix, LN searches for valid freight rate books in the freight rate matrices for which a matrix priority is defined. LN searches the freight rate matrices for a matrix definition and matrix attributes that match the properties of the sales order line, shipment, freight order cluster, etc. Note that all of the matrix attributes must match the properties of the sales order line, freight order cluster, shipment, etc. When found, the freight rate book of the freight rate matrix, in which the matrix definition and the matrix attributes are stored, is used to calculate the transportation costs of the sales order line. Note For loads and shipments, freight rates from more than one freight rate book can be used to calculate the freight costs. This depends on the properties of the loads or shipments involved.
