TMS - How to setup several rating profiles for a shipping carrier

Hi,

I am trying to implement the following TMS scenario:

For the same shipping carrier I have 2 rating profiles, with different rate engines, set as different carrier services:

1. a mileage rate base assignment for long distance transports and

2. a fixed rate base assignment (set up as P2P Contract) - for local transports inside the city.

For each separate scenario the prices are calculated correctly in the rate route workbench, however if I put them together in the Rating profile on the shipping carrier form none works any more. The exception thrown is "Rate base detail could not be found", although as I mentioned before if only one rating profile is used, it works.

Any idea how I could implement this, besides creating 2 different shipping carriers, as the freight invoices are coming consolidated on both types of services?

Thank you

Robert

Hi Markus,

Is this still true for D365 F&O 10.0.36?

Thanks in advanced!

Hi Robert,

Currently we are only able use one rating profile per carrier when rate shopping. The system will query first which rate profile has the most recent effective start date and time. So unless you do a customization, you will need to put them on different shipping carriers. As you can use the same vendor for multiple carriers you should still be able to combine freight bills from the different services and carriers on the same invoice when reconciling.
