Create Order is about manually adding delivery orders to Event where integration is not possible or wanted.
But just because you add orders in this way doesn't mean you need to make the carrier selection process manual also.
To cater for all eventualites, Event provides options from deciding not to add a carrier at all at this stage in the process to allowing AMI, Events 'digital worker' assign the best option for you...

Carrier & Service selection
-
Parcel carrier - system generated live rating
-
Non parcel carriers - without live rating
-
Let AMI select - Digital worker - assisted selection.
-
No carrier - manually allocate a carrier in Route
Use the Create Order configuration screen to setup your Carrier & Service preference.
You can select more than one option and the below will explain what each one does differently for you.

Now I see them, which should I use?

System generated LIVE rates - parcel
Selecting LIVE rates ONLY applies where you have an active integration with a parcel carrier, UPS, FedEx, DHL, DPD...
Once you have activated an account you can use this function to lookup your rate card with that carrier and provide LIVE service and rate information.
Make a selection and the order will be allocated to a route matching the carrier selected.
Using this option means you can also enable '3rd Party billing'. If you know parcels, you know 3rd party billing...

Specify now without LIVE rating
Selecting 'without LIVE rating' ONLY applies where you have invited carriers and uploaded rate cards.
Using this function will mean you select the delivery type [Groupage, Full Load, FLEET], the equipment type you want to use and then the carrier.
Event will restrict each result based on what is available from your connected carriers. For example you may only have 1 groupage carrier that can deliver on a Curtain 7.5t vehicle.

This service gives the user the ability to define exactly how to route out the order. For example, i know that i always put this destination and order size on a FTL carrier called Event Logistics.
If they are unsure they should use 'NO CARRIER' and allocate from ROUTE through Unallocated.

The delivery type. Is the order going on a groupage vehicle or a single collection FTL
-
