Defining Additional Rate Information
Access the Rate Definition Revisions - Advanced form.
To set up more specific rates, you can define additional rate information.
After you define the rate, set up the lookup type variables for each lookup type.
After you set up the lookup type variables, set up the actual values in the rate table.
- Use Dimensional Weight Rule
Select this option to use dimensional weight rule. When you use the dimensional weight rule, the system uses the dimensional weight as the rate basis and weight lookup value under the following conditions:
The dimensional weight is greater than the actual weight.
The volume of the shipment or shipment piece is greater than or equal to the dimensional weight minimum volume.
The system calculates the dimensional weight by dividing the volume by the dimensional weight factor that you define in the rate definition. If the dimensional weight factor in the rate definition is zero, the system uses the dimensional weight factor from the Carrier Master table.
- Dimensional Weight Minimum Volume
The minimum volume at or above which the dimensional weight will be used if it is greater than the actual weight.
- Dimensional Weight Factor
The factor assigned to the shipper which the system uses to calculate the dimensional weight. Dimensional weight is calculated as the (length * width * height)/the dimensional weight factor.
- Volume Unit of Measure
Specify the volume unit of measure; for example cubic feet (FC).
- Pro-rate Charge Code
Enter the user-defined code that defines charges to include in prorating.
- Pro-rate Basis
Enter the basis on which a charge is prorated. The basis is calculated by either weight or volume.
- Function Name
Enter the name of the business function that obtains the rate. If the rate type is 5, the system retrieves the freight charge and ignores all other rate information. If the rate type is not 5, the system retrieves the rate amount from the business function, not from the Rate Detail table.
- Variable
Specify whether freight rates are entered as variable names, which are set up in the price adjustments variable table.
- Conditional Rate Name
Enter a conditional rate name. If you do so, the rate name that you specify must be used for this rate to be considered.
- Rate Basis Divisor
Specify a rate basis divisor. When you do so, the system divides the rate basis by the rate basis divisor, then multiplies that amount by the rate. For example, if the rate basis is shipment value and the divisor is 100, the shipment value is divided by 100, then multiplied by the rate.
- Rounding Rule
Specify how the system performs rounding on amounts. This field is used with Rate Basis Divisor field only. Select one of these rounding rules:
Round the remainder down
Truncate the remainder
Round the remainder up
- Shipment Level Payable
Select this option to specify whether payable freight should be calculated at the shipment or delivery level instead of at the load level.
