Trip Rate Shop Operations in Transportation Smartbench

This section lists the trip rate shop operations in alphabetical order with a brief description.

Note: Administrators configure which operations are available and the order in which they are displayed based on your role. Only authorized operations are displayed in your operations toolbar.

Comprehensive validations are performed by back-end APIs upon Submit and Submit/Tender. These operations generally close the Rate Shop page and display a summarized message in the message area of the main TSB frame. If back-end validation fails (for example, results cannot be committed), the page remains open and the error is displayed in the rate shop message area.

Message Log

No

The Message Log can be used to determine why an expected tariff/service does not appear in the list of rating results.

The message log can be displayed even if there are no valid rating results.
