You are the logistics manager at a distribution company.

Your primary carrier service provides rates for transportation between New York City and Colorado. These rates are a flat rate depending on the city or general area of pickup as follows:

Selected Answer: B

Option B: Using the Point-to-Point engine with an empty break master, assign rates based on starting and ending locations. - The Point-to-Point rate engine in Dynamics 365 is designed for scenarios where rates are determined by specific origin and destination pairs. An "empty break master" means no additional variables (like weight, pieces, or mileage) are used to break down the rate—just the flat rate for the route. This fits the scenario perfectly: a flat rate needs to be assigned for the route from New York City (pickup, $500) to Colorado (destination, $450 interpreted as the rate for the route). You can configure the Rate Master to define the rate for this specific point-to-point combination, making this a straightforward and appropriate solution
