Overview
Tariff-Based Rate Entries
Combine Tariff Schedules with the appropriate Rate Entries from TMS Admin 🡪 Rate Entries. Prevent deficit rating with SMC3 by checking the Prevent Deficit Rating checkbox on the Rate Entry record.
As a shipment increases in weight, the rate per 100 pounds decreases. Within each weight break there is generally a point at which the charge is lower if a higher weight break is used (alternation). This is when deficit weight rating is used. The weight necessary to take the shipment up to the higher weight break is added to the shipment so that the shipper gets the benefit of the lower rate.
When the Prevent Deficit Rating checkbox is checked, the maximum weight to stop the rating alternation is set to the total load weight plus one pound. Stop Alternation allows the user to turn off a desired weight level (and higher).
