Assigning a dimensional weight divisor to a carrier

A carrier might use a dimensional divisor to determine the minimum dimensional weight of a package. If the actual weight of a package is less than the carrier’s calculated dimensional weight, then the calculated dimensional weight is used as the billable weight.

The billable weight is calculated automatically. You can change the billable weight when you ship packages in Product Cartonization Center Entry.

In SA Table Code Value Setup, you can specify the divisor for the carrier on the Transportation Standard Carrier record, and then specify the carrier on the appropriate Ship Via records.

  1. Select System Administrator > Setup > Table Code Value.
  2. Select Transportation Standard Carrier in the Table List field.
  3. Search for a carrier, and then click the right arrow to open the record.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. Specify the divisor in the Carrier Dimension Weight Divisor field.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Select Ship Via in the Table List field.
  8. Search for ship via method that uses the carrier, and then click the right arrow to open the record.
  9. Click Edit.
  10. Specify the carrier in the Transportation Standard Carrier field.
  11. Click Save.
