   1. In Agent, enter the forwarder or Agent to whom the rate applies. You can retrieve available agent codes from the database by clicking .
   2. Enter the Origin and Destination where the rate applies. You can also enter the Origin Zone and Destination Zone if you want the rate to be applicable to a wider area.
   3. Select ADHOC from the Price Type or price template drop-down list. The Price Type selected determines the columns in the Weight Break table.
   4. Define the effectivity period of the rate. The Effective Date is the begin date of the effectivity of the price record.
