Viewing carrier transit details

During fulfillment optimization, carrier transit details are used to optimize an order. You can view the carrier transit details for a carrier service, such as weight, cost, and transit duration to ensure that the lowest cost is available to fulfill the order. Also, you become aware of any carrier delays that might impact an order not meeting a customer delivery. As a result, you select the optimal carrier service for the delivery.
