Creating an LTL rate contract
The construction of Rate Table format for LTL rate contracts, which uses an SMC Rateware Czar tariff for rate calculation, is different.
Note: Infor does not provide the SMC (Southern Motor Carriers) Rateware
application and the required tariffs. You must license them directly from SMC
and install and load the Rateware application with the appropriate tariffs as a
prerequisite for this type of rate contract.
These column headings are required for LTL rate contracts in this order. A through K are the same as in the rate contract types described above.
