A Cost Category Set is a group of related Cost Categories. These sets are used during the Driver Assignment process.

During regular Driver Assignment (Assign Best), the primary Cost Category Set as defined by the logic parameter DRIVER ASSIGNMENT PRIMARY COST CATEGORY SET, will be passed into the rating engine (cost category set GID replaces the cost level parameter). During the rating process, only rate costs whose categories are contained in the specified set will be evaluated. The results will be sorted according to total weighted cost and the best option assigned.
