Rate Shop Reason Required: This check box will control whether a reason is required when the default route is overridden from any rate shop page.
Direct Rate Shop Default Constraint Level: Will determine which constraints will be honored when a Rate Shop page is accessed directly from a list. If users initially want to see as many results as possible, "Confirm or Shipment" should be chosen. If users want to initially honor existing carrier/tariff/service assignments from previous Optimization requests and only explore additional options under certain circumstances, one of the other two values should be chosen. See "Rate Shop (Employee)".
Confirm or Shipment: Carrier, service, tractor equipment type and trailer equipment type from associated shipments will be constraints. Carrier for a load that has reached Confirming status will be a constraint.
Tendered or Manual Input: Additional constraints will be recognized in addition to the ones described for "Confirm or Shipment". Any manually assigned values for carrier, service, tractor equipment type, trailer equipment type, tractor domicile or trailer domicile will be constraints. Also, if a load (or first load on a trip) has reached Tendered status, all six of these attributes will be constraints.
Soft Committed: Additional constraints will be recognized in addition to the ones described for both of the previous settings. Soft committed (proposed by the Optimizer, or assigned during a previous rate shop) values for carrier, service, tractor equipment type, trailer equipment type, tractor domicile, trailer domicile will also be constraints.
Allow Change Shipment Horizon From Rate Shop: This value will provide a default setting when creating user group profiles. The corresponding field for the user group determines if users in the group can modify shipment horizons from the Smartbench rate shop pages. The following values are supported:
Not Authorized: User cannot modify shipment horizons or override horizons.
Update Override Horizons Only: User can modify override horizons without impacting shipment horizons.
Update Both Shipment and Override Horizons: User can modify override horizons and shipment horizons.
Note: This attribute is applicable for the Employee user group.
