| Version Nos. | It is the default numerator to manage the versions of the shipping price. |
| Weight / Cubage Conv. Factor | Specifies the shipper’s weight/cubage conversion factor. This is because in the case of bulky parcel shipments the cost of shipping is calculated not only on the basis of the actual weight, but on the taxable weight, thanks to a conversion factor that translates a certain volume into taxable kg. |

Shipping Price Card - Lines
In the lines of the shipping price we define the detail of Transport Costs
- for each service offered by the shipper (e.g. standard delivery, 24-hour delivery, etc.)
- according to the departure and arrival areas
Let’s see an example of a shipping price for shipping areas .
From Related -> Price-> Areas definition we have defined the departure and arrival points:
We have codified each route agreed with the shipper. As seen in the Setup , it is possible to use the different filters including the customer filter if we have specific agreements with one or more customers.
For each of the filters you can also define a composite filter, eg. “from postcode 37010 to postcode 37170”.
The white warehouse and the blue warehouse are the starting points of the goods from the company (From Location Code Area).
Let’s see the lines of the list:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Transport Cost (Area) | |
| Starting / Destination Area Code | indicates where the goods leave from and where they arrive |
| Shipping Agent Service Code | indicates the type of service relating to the route. Multiple services can be coded for the same route (eg Blue Warehouse-> Milan: delivery service in 24 hours is provided and also the standard delivery service) |
| Price Type Code | specifies the type of shipping price that is considered (the shipper can agree, for example, a price list for gross weight for one route and for km traveled for another route) |
| Starting / Ending Date | dates that indicate the duration of validity for the line set in order to keep a history for changes to the shipping price |
| Priority | you can indicate numerical values that establish which row should be used first if, for example, there are two rows with the same postcode. This applies if First occurrence has been set in “Area Calculation Type” |
