Understanding Rate Updates

Carriers periodically increase or decrease their rates for transporting goods. Likewise, if you own a private fleet, transportation costs might vary from month to month. To account for these changes, you must update the rate tables in the system. The system provides you with two different programs to update the rate tables.

You can change rates for specific rate definitions, or you can change many rates at the same time by using the Batch Rate Update program (R4972). To change rates that are stored in specific routes, you use the Batch Routing Rate Update program (R4950).
