How do you convert a Rate Quote into a Booking in AscendTMS?

• A. Create a duplicate Rate Card and assign it to the load.
• B. Convert the Rate Quote into a Booking by accepting the quote and attaching it to the load.
• C. Modify the Rate Quote and delete the original.
• D. Convert the Rate Card into a Rate Quote and then cancel the load.

Answer: (B)

In AscendTMS, a Rate Quote is a price proposal for moving a shipment, and a Booking is the confirmed arrangement for that shipment. The way to turn a Rate Quote into a Booking is to accept the quote and attach it to the load. This action locks in the agreed rate and terms and creates the actual booking linked to that shipment, allowing dispatch, pickup, and tracking to proceed.

The other options don’t fit because they involve duplicating rate cards, modifying and deleting the original, or creating a new quote from a rate card and then canceling the load. None of those steps establishes the binding, actionable booking tied to the specific load. Only accepting the quote and attaching it makes the proposal binding and ready for execution.
