Each Commit Status will indicate whether the corresponding value is hard committed, soft committed or suggested.
Hard Commit - Indicates the carrier, service, equipment type, domicile or primary schedule has been assigned manually, inherited from a child transaction (shipment leg for a load, shipment leg, or load for a trip or booking), or forced based on transaction status (for example, when load reaches Tendered status). The load, trip or booking could be hard committed for more than one of these reasons. (Note: Domicile requirements and primary schedule cannot be inherited from shipment legs.)
Soft Commit - Indicates carrier, service, equipment type, domicile, or primary schedule has been assigned based on optimization or by rate shop with the expectation that these will serve as constraints when the load, trip, or booking is subsequently tendered. These constraints will not continue to be enforced should the selected carrier reject the tender.
Suggested - Indicates carrier, service, equipment type, domicile, or primary schedule has been assigned by Routing, Rating and Scheduling. Values could be replaced when Routing, Rating and Scheduling is next performed for the load, trip, or booking. These values will not constrain the tender process. However, if the trip (if applicable), booking (if applicable), load and related shipments are not subsequently modified, Routing, Rating and Scheduling will likely select the same values.
