      <Paragraph>You can use <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd" role="module">Dati principali di trasporto</GUIRef> to setup basic data required for proper handling of

      <Paragraph>You can use <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/frc" role="module">Tariffe e costi di trasporto</GUIRef> to calculate <Link href="/baanerp/fm/glossary/glossary#000036" role="glossary">estimated freight costs</Link> and <Link href="/baanerp/fm/glossary/glossary#000047" role="glossary">additional costs</Link>. The freight rate scales determine the cost and possible revenues
		of transport-related activities. In <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm" role="package">Spedizioni</GUIRef>, costs are based on carrier freight rates;
		revenues are calculated by either the client freight rates or carrier rates
