To calculate freight charges by total order value, you must define freight rates for ranges of order values.
Value ranges are defined on the Set up freight by total value window in the Advanced Accounting Console. Before freight charges by total order value can be automatically calculated, you must perform the following actions:.
Freight rates can be defined for any range of order values, and no limit exists to the number of value ranges and rates that can be defined. When defining a rate's value range, only the low value of the range is entered in the Total Value Range field. The high value of the range is not entered. It is calculated upon completing and saving the table.
Each range's high value is determined by each succeeding range's low value; a range's high value equals the low value of the succeeding range minus. When adding value ranges, you can add additional, expanded ranges as well as ranges that fall between other ranges. If an order's pre-tax value exceeds the highest defined value range, the order's freight charges will be calculated at the rate defined for the highest value range.
If an order's pre-tax value is below the lowest defined value range, no freight charges will be calculated, and no freight will be charged. When calculating freight charges by quantity, the total product quantity ordered determines an order's freight charges.

Freight rates can be defined for any range of product quantities, and no limit exists to the number of quantity ranges and rates that can be defined. When defining a rate's quantity range, only the minimum quantity of the range is entered in the Total Quantity Range field.
The maximum quantity of the range is not entered; it is calculated upon completing and saving the table. When defining a quantity range's minimum quantity, the minimum quantity must be greater than 0. In addition, if your beginning range's minimum quantity is 5. Each range's maximum quantity is determined by each succeeding range's minimum quantity; a range's maximum quantity equals the minimum quantity of the succeeding range minus. When adding quantity ranges, you can add additional, expanded ranges as well as ranges that fall between other ranges.
If an order's product quantity exceeds the maximum defined quantity, the order's freight charges will be calculated at the rate defined for the maximum quantity.
If an order's product quantity is less than the minimum defined quantity, no freight charges will be calculated, and no freight will be charged. Account Settings Logout. All Files. Submit Search.

Customer Login Freight class is a standardized shipping industry pricing classification establishing uniform parameters for commerce between multiple brokers, warehouses and carriers. It is determined based upon a range of factors, including: ease of handling, value, weight, length, height, density and liability. What Is Freight Class? Purpose of Freight Class The intention behind NMFC is to provide a standard comparison of commodities for freight identification and classification.
Density Within the shipping realm, density is defined as the space an item occupies in relation to its weight. Ease of Handling Most cargo is simple to load and unload, especially when these tasks are doled out to machinery, as they often are. Liability Heightened risk of theft or accidental damage is considered when leveraging accountability.
Stowability Some types of freight are subject to government regulation or specific carrier policies. Step by Step Instructions for Calculating Freight Density: Determine the length, width and height of your freight in inches Including packaging. Multiply these three metrics to calculate the size of your freight in cubic inches. To convert to cubic feet, divide this by 1, the number of cubic inches in a cubic foot. Then, divide the weight of your freight in pounds by the total cubic feet.

The total charge depends upon factors such as the starting and endpoints of the journey, time of the year , the space occupied by goods in addition to a number of other elements. Each airline- be it an only cargo transporter or a cargo transporter in addition to passengers- levy various rates based on the service type and route chosen. Carriers use the numerical figure of the mass or the space occupied by your goods and then choose whichever is higher for freight cost calculation.
