Fields | Description
Freight Rate Book | The first free number is used to identify the Freight Rate Book. You can specify the Number Group for Freight Rate Book Codes in the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session.
Rating Method | The method by which freight rates are categorized. Freight rates are based on Distance or on Zone. In the Search by Distance/Zone field of the Pricing Parameters (tdpcg0100m000) session, you can specify how Freight rates must be searched: by Distance, Zone, or Both.
Distance Unit | The distance unit used to express the distances defined in the Freight Rate Book. The Distance Unit must be of the Length type.
Free Distance | The distance for which there is no charge in the Freight Rate Book. Note If the travelling distance for a shipment line is 10 and the free distance is also 10, the calculated freight costs are zero. This has the following consequences: The Planning Log (fmlbd0530m000) session displays that no freight rate book can be found. In the Freight Costs Inquiry (fmfrc0540m000) session, no Freight Rate Book Code is displayed and the Freight Rate Source is set to Manual.
