      <Paragraph>To determine the

      <Paragraph>To retrieve freight rates from a freight rate matrix, ERP Enterprise looks for valid
		freight rate books in the freight rate matrices for which a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000101" role="glossary">matrix priority</Link> is defined. ERP Enterprise searches the freight rate matrices for a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#MatrixDefini_td" role="glossary">matrix definition</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#000366" role="glossary">matrix attributes</Link> 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>
      <Note>
         <SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
         <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>
