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 byDistance:
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 byDistance | 10 | 15 | 20 |
Amount byWeight | 5 | 5 | 10 |
Amount byAdditional 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
