Rerate Movement When Dimensions Updated

When the volume of a shipment header or of shipment lines is updated, the related movement is rerated. Volume is calculated using the length, width, and height values of the individual shipment lines or from the shipment header. Volume is first calculated at the shipment header level, if this information is unavailable, the system instead sums the volume of the individual shipment lines.

This page includes instructions that are described elsewhere, however, specific fields are filled in or defined as part of the larger workflow that is required to complete the rerating.

Complete the following steps to define the base rate:

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Select Menu/Favs > Contract Mgmt > Carrier Contracts.
    In the NEO UI, users can click on the Menu/Favs icon on the left sidebar and type in the name of the screen in the menu search bar. For more information, see "Using the Menu Search Bar."
    The Carrier Contracts screen appears.
