Introduction

This document explains how to create and manage a carrier contract and associated rates in the One Network system. A carrier contract defines the rate that a shipper pays to a carrier to move a shipment from one location to another.

Creating a Carrier Contract and Associated Rates

1. Log on to the One Network system.

2. Click Contract Mgmt > Carrier Contracts.
   

   The Carrier Contracts page is displayed. The page contains an Explorer window on the left side that shows a list of existing carriers and their contracts. The top item in the list is the name of your company, next is the name of a carrier. If you expand the carrier, it displays a list of the contracts, and expanding a contract shows a list of the rates. Selecting any item in this tree structure displays that item's details on the right side of the page.

3. To add a new carrier contract, click New Contract.
   
   
   The Create Carrier Contract page is displayed.
   
   
   

4. Fill in the information on the page. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*) symbol.

   Contract Name field	Enter the name for the carrier contract.
   Carrier field	Enter the name of the carrier company. This is an auto-complete field. As you start typing the name of the carrier company, the auto-complete function shows the first ten matches, which can then be selected, or you can continue typing to narrow down your search. There is also a Search icon next to this field that allows you to search for a carrier company.
