Adding a rate level line item:
When adding a new Rate Level line item, you are adding another element of complexity to the structure and therefore another layer of complexity for you to maintain.
Before adding a Rate Level line item, think through what you are trying to achieve and use the search filters to see that the Rate Level and criteria do not already exist.
Adding rate level line items involves editing data on the left side of the Rate Entry search results which shows the RATE LEVELS and the details determining the criteria subject to the rates displayed on the right side.
Choose an Existing Line Item.
If you are ready to proceed adding a Rate Level line item, then select an existing line item that closely matches the line item you want to create and EXTRACT SELECTED ITEMS TO THE EDIT PAGE.
Use drop downs (Route Group, Delivery Type, Product, and Route) to select the new criteria for the line item that is different from the one originally selected.
IN THIS EXAMPLE:
The line item originally selected, Rate Level 30 has all routes being paid the same rates for home delivery of product BBWK.
We have decided to make an exception for route 0435SW01, paying that single route a slightly higher rate.
Select the route from the dropdown, enter the new rate in the appropriate day(s).
Click Change. Effective date window pops up. Click OK.
A summary window will appear with your changes highlighted so you can have a last look and review completely before moving forward with the change. Note the CONFIRM/ADD indicator.
