Setting Up Delivery Rates

Setting Up Delivery Rates

Overview

Delivery rate rules are used by the system to automatically calculate the delivery charges for sales orders. The system will take into account the courier for the sales order and will apply the relevant rule to calculate the delivery charge and add it to the sales order. As the values on the sales order change, this will trigger the system to update the delivery rate charged. This video shows you how to set them up.

Setting Up Delivery Rates



Step By Step

  1. Go to [System Setup | System Data | Delivery Rates].
  2. Click Edit and if new lines are required click +New.
    1. The delivery charge can be based on:
      1. Country, Zone or Postcode.
      2. The Courier
      3. The Company Class of the customer
      4. The weight of the package using the Weight range
      5. The gross or net value of the order using Value Low and High
    2. The Postage field is how much the customer will be charged for the package based on the criteria set.
    3. The Priority is used to differentiate between the rates, so the system can work out which rate to use. If there are very similar rates the system will look at the lowest numbers first and will apply the rate that applies and that is come to first.
      1. Overlaps - Where there is an overlap of properties with using the same priority the line which is highest in the grid will be used.
      2. No Matches - Where a sales order fails to meet all criteria of any single the row in the grid a value of 0 will be returned.
    4. Gross refers to whether the postage value entered is gross or net.
    5. VAT? is whether or not the postage charge is vatable or not.
    6. Weight Unit and Per KG Chg are used together. If Weight Unit is enabled and a figure entered into the Per KG Charge field, then that amount per kilogrammes will be added into the Postage field.
    7. The Invoice Priority if enabled, will add the Invoice Priority to the sales order when the delivery rate is applied. If there is already an Invoice Priority on the sales order, then this will be overridden with this Invoice Priority.
    8. Currency will determine the currency in which the delivery rate is made.
    9. Brand will limit the delivery charge to the brand specified.
  3. When finished editing click Save Screen.
