If the carrier and service for the load are both hard or soft committed, and rating is valid for the carrier / service combination assigned to the load, and Auto-Accept Tender has been enabled at the tariff/service or lane level, CST will be bypassed. Under these circumstances, the tender will be issued to the assigned carrier and then immediately accepted by Transportation Manager. Since the chosen carrier has been configured to automatically accept all tenders, the CST process can be avoided since there is no doubt as to which carrier will accept the tender.
