System Setup / Plugin Customization / Plugin Configuration [SET062].

<intro text>This plugin must connect with the cloud-based external TMS to get the Initial Rate Shop data. This plugin will look at the Ship Via field within SYSPRO (under the Sales Order Maintenance screen), and depending on the code added (i.e., BWP, BWT, etc.) it will return the Rate Shop feedback.

The logic of the default plugin is to always return the cheapest carrier. However, this can be customized according to your needs.
