Navigate to TMS Admin 🡪 Commodity Catalogues to see all Commodity Catalogues in the TMS. Create a new catalogue or enter any recurring commodities into catalogues that are often used when creating Loads. During Load creation, these commodities can be searched and added as Line Items.
These catalogues are used by customers by setting the Commodity Catalogue field on the Customer Transportation Profile record. Commodity lookup can also be enabled for the Customer Portal.
Define a Commodity Catalogue in the Global Default Transportation Profile to serve as a backstop catalogue. This setting is used for all customers that do not have the Commodity Catalogue field defined in the Customer Transportation Profile.
