Introduction to Contract ID Search
This topic explains how to search your Rate Management database for a specific contract number without using an origin or destination city. This functionality is applicable for contracts with 100 locations (or less) only. If your contract has more than 100 locations, you must complete your Rate Search with either Single or Multi and include the Origin and Destination cities.
