Re: Rate shipment based on distance dynamically

That sounds exactly the capability that you require.

If you are unable to move to 5.5, then my approach would be to use Direct SQL update to update the necessary distance record prior to the rating engine starting for the shipment. However, I can imagine that that may result in data cache issues / timing issues, so that will require some stringent testing.
How did you come to the remark that this should be able in 5.5? I want to find out how it works (rating using the actual distance). I can;t find anything that seems to solve this in 5.5.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Bob
