Introduction: 
In the transportation management system (TMS), there might be occasions where you need to update the freight rate on a load for various reasons. This guide explains how to efficiently change or update the freight rate on a load.

Step 1: Access the Load

Step 2: Update Freight Rate

  1. In the load details, locate and click the "Edit" button. This will allow you to make changes to the load information.

  2. Within the load details, find the field for the "Freight Rate." This is where you can update the freight rate amount.

  3. Change the freight rate amount to the new value as required.

Step 3: Use the Sub Rate Function
