Working with Distance data

In addition to using a third-party tool such as PC Miler and Rand McNally, you can upload distance data using the Reference Data Manager. You can upload distance data (either miles or kilometers) using a CSV distance data template.

Note: Any PC Miler and Rand McNally version number requirements for using the applications with rating and routing are provided in the Infor SCE Platform Matrix document.

You can download the Distance Data template from the Reference Data Manager Help page. The existing table is too large to download.

Specify a lane in Rate Query to see if the miles for a mileage pair already exist before you upload a new pair.
