Re: rate qulaity vs rate preference

Hi,

It depends a bit on how often your rates change.

We use rate preference for those carriers where the order needs to go through a particular carrier (but is not the cheapest). It will always take this carrier. You have the possibility to select however manual the other carriers.

Rate quality is more used for giving a carrier a kind of penalty because his perfomance is bad (or a benefit if he performs well!!). A cheaper rate can be then more expensive so it will be more expensive then the next cheapest carrier with better performance.
We use this exactly in this way. Idea: Cheaper is not always better!

Best regards,

Bob
