Freight Rate Book

An entity in which you can store freight rate information that is valid for a given period of time.

A freight rate book includes the following elements:

A freight rate book header, which contains the code, rating method, distance unit, and free distance.
One or more freight rate book lines, which contain the freight rates for a combination of attributes such as carrier and service level.

The freight rates specified in a freight rate book are subject to a minimum or maximum weight, distance, or additional rate value.

Rating Method

The method by which freight rates are categorized. Freight rates are based on Distance or on Zone.

Default value

This value is defaulted from the Rating Method field in the Freight Rate Books (tdpcg0116m000) session.

Carrier

The carrier that carries out transportation against the rates defined in the current freight rate book.

Service Level

The service level to which the rates per distance/zone of the current freight rate book apply.

Weight

The weight to which the freight amounts by distance or zone of the current freight rate book line apply.

Weight Unit

The unit in which the weight is expressed.

Additional Rate Quantity

A quantity by unit against which you can define freight rates. You can choose from the units defined in Common. Many freight rates are based on distance and weight. Additional quantities/units enable you to define rates that are based on other units, such as volume, or define rates that are based on combinations of distance, weight, and other units.

Example 1

Freight rate by additional quantity/unit:

Additional Rate Quantity: 1 pallet, Distance: 1000 km

Amount by Distance: 10

Example 2

Freight rates by combinations of units by distance/zone:

Weight: 10 kg

Additional Rate Quantity: 1 m³

Break Type: Minimum

Distance:	0	100	500
Amount by Distance	10	15	20
Amount by Weight	5	5	10
Amount by Additional Rate Unit	5	5	7

In this example, freight rates are based on distance by weight and volume. Shipment SH0001, from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, includes the following details: Distance: 70 km, Weight: 50 kg, Volume: 7 m³

The freight costs for shipment SH0001 are:

 10 * 70 (distance) + 5 * 50 (weight) + 5 * 7 (volume) = 985

Additional Rate Quantity

The unit that you want to use as additional rate unit.

Break Type

The Break Type determines whether a Minimum or an Up To weight, distance, or additional rate value break is used for the freight rate book line.

Example

Break Type	Minimum
Weight	100
Distance	0	Amount by Weight	10
Distance	100	Amount by Weight	15

For distances < 100, weights >= 100 are multiplied by 10 to calculate the amount charged for the total transported weight. For distances >= 100, weights >= 100 are multiplied by 15 to calculate the amount charged for the total transported weight.

Break Type	Up To
Weight	100
Distance	100	Amount by Distance	15
Distance	500	Amount by Distance	20

For distances <= 100, weights <= 100 are multiplied by 15 to calculate the weight charges. For distances > 100 and <= 500, weights <= 100 are multiplied by 20 to calculate the weight charges.

When you select a Break Type in combination with a given Freight Rate Book for the first time, the selected Break Type becomes fixed and cannot be changed for any following lines in the Freight Rate Book.

Distance

The distance for which the current rate amounts are calculated. This field is empty if the Rating Method is Zone.

Distance Unit

The distance unit used to express the distances defined in the freight rate book.

Zone Type

To specify freight rates by zone, you can use zones of the city, zip, or distance type.

Zone

The code of the zone for which the current rate amounts are calculated.

Entry Date

The date and time when the current rate is entered.

Effective Date

The date and time as from which the freight rate book line is valid.

Expiry Date

The expiry date and time of the freight rate book line.

Minimum Amount

If the calculated amount, based on the amounts by Distance/ Zone, Weight, or the Fixed Amount is less than the Minimum Amount, the amount specified in this field is charged as freight costs.

Fixed Amount

The amount that is always added to freight rates based on the current distance or zone.

Amount by Distance

The amount that is multiplied by distances that are within the distance break specified in the Distance field.

Example

Break Type	Minimum
Distance	0	Amount by Distance	10
Distance	100	Amount by Distance	15

Distances < 100 are multiplied by 10 to calculate the amount charged for the traveled distance. Distances >= 100 are multiplied by 15 to calculate the amount charged for the traveled distance.

Break Type	Up To
Distance	100	Amount by Distance	15
Distance	500	Amount by Distance	20

Distances <= 100 are multiplied by 15 to calculate the amount charged for the traveled distance. Distances > 100 and <= 500 are multiplied by 20 to calculate the amount charged for the traveled distance.

Note

This field is empty and unavailable if the Rating Method is Zone.

Amount by Weight

The amount that is multiplied by weights that are within the distance break specified in the Distance field.

Example

Break Type	Minimum
Weight	100
Distance	0	Amount by Weight	10
Distance	100	Amount by Weight	15

Break Type	Up To
Weight	100
Distance	100	Amount by Weight	15
Distance	500	Amount by Weight	20

For distances <= 100, weights <= 100 are multiplied by 15 to calculate the weight charges. For distances > 100 and <= 500, weights <= 100 are multiplied by 20 to calculate the weight charges.
