The system defaults to 1.

4. Enter the Order Lines to be Created.
The system defaults to 1.

5. If necessary, select a Rate Structure and Rate Code.

6. Select whether or not you want to Waive Shipping.

7. If necessary, check the Active checkbox.

8. If necessary, use the Move Up and Move Down button to arrange the components in the correct order.
