	<GeneralSection><List><ListIntro>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg" role="module">Pricing Control</GUIRef> module, freight rates are stored to calculate the transportation costs of items listed on:</ListIntro>

		<Paragraph>To determine the transportation costs of, for example, a sales order line, SSA ERP retrieves the freight rate from <Link href="/baanerp/fm/glossary/glossary#000038" role="glossary">freight rate books</Link> defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg" role="module">Pricing Control</GUIRef> module. To find the correct freight rate book, SSA ERP uses freight rate matrices.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>The retrieval of the correct freight rate matrix is controlled by the invoicing method selected on the order header or in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom4112s000" role="session">Invoice-to Business Partners (tccom4112s000)</GUIRef> session, and the parameter settings in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0100m000#Freight" role="groupbox">Freight</GUIRef> tab of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0100m000" role="session">Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000)</GUIRef> session. For further information, see <Link href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0100m000#tdpcg000.carc" role="fieldhelp">Carrier Freight Rate Control</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/td/pcg/tdpcg0100m000#tdpcg000.clrc" role="fieldhelp">Client Freight Rate Control</Link>.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>If the invoicing method is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/com.infr#estimate" role="enum">Client Rates</GUIRef>, <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/com.infr#estimate" role="enum">Client Rates</GUIRef> are searched. If the invoicing method is <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/com.infr#actual" role="enum">Freight Costs</GUIRef> or <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/com.infr#costplus" role="enum">Freight Costs (Update Allowed)</GUIRef>, carrier rates are searched. If the invoicing method is set to <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/domains/com.infr#not.applic" role="enum">Not Applicable</GUIRef>, no freight rates are searched.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>SSA ERP looks for valid freight rate books in the freight rate matrices for which a matrix sequence number is defined. SSA ERP 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, and so on. Note that all of the matrix attributes must match the properties of the sales order line, freight order cluster, shipment, and so on. 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.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph>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.</Paragraph>
