Updating Rates in Routes

Select Rate Setup (G49412), Batch Rate Update in Routes.

Using the Batch Routing Rate Update program (R4950), you can update multiple rates that are assigned to a specific routing entry at the same time. You can also account for increased costs by adjusting the rate tables to display the difference. You can adjust rates by entering an amount, an override amount, or a percentage.

You can specify effective and expired dates in the processing options to specify when the updated rates are in effect. Additionally, the system updates the expiration date for the current rates as the day before the new rates take effect. For example, assume that you have a current flat rate for Saturday delivery for carrier A that charges one fee. Carrier A has informed you that the Saturday delivery rate is increasing as of January 1, 2013. When you update the rate, the system sets the expiration date of the current rate to be December 31, 2012 and changes the new rate to become effective on January 1, 2013.
