Seeded Formulas

This appendix covers the following topics:

• Overview of Seeded Formulas

Overview of Seeded Formulas

Pricing provides two types of seeded formulas that you can use when setting up freight charges:

• Cost to charge conversion formulas (simple pass-through formulas)

• Cost to charge markup formulas (simple markup formulas)

Each seeded formula is customized with its own formula expression. So rather than create a new formula and expression, you can select an existing seeded formula when setting up freight charges: for example, you could select the QP: Cost to charge conversion of Administration Cost formula to convert the Administration Cost pricing attribute to a charge.

Alternately, you can update the formula header or formula lines for an existing seeded formula.

You can review the available seeded and non-seeded formulas in the Pricing Formulas window. The Seeded box indicates if the formula is seeded or not.

Note: If the name of a seeded formula is updated then the formula will no longer be identified as seeded.
