Only ratebooks which are marked as Active, and ratebook entries which are marked as Active will be considered when creating the summaries. Once you have ratebook summaries created, you can access them through the API to populate an external system or website. You can also request a file to be created for upload to Contract Hire and Leasing.com.

To get your summaries, you need to navigate to Ratebooks and click the 'Update Summaries' button in the top right of the region:

This will queue the job, and email you once it has been completed.
