Accessing Edit Pricing

The edit pricing modal is available in the shipment summary screen by clicking the Edit Pricing button at the top of the page. It can also be found in the Tools drop-down or when you Create/Edit a shipment and scroll down to the Cost Calculations section.

Accessorial Quantity

When adding quantities to accessorials, you can specify multiple charges to provide a more detailed breakdown for accounting purposes. This gives customers a clearer understanding of what they are paying for instead of just seeing the total price on their invoice.

For instance, you can indicate 5 hours and 30 minutes of detention or list multiple chassis fees, making it easier to present this information clearly in your customer invoice.

Accessorial Quantity Base Pricing

1. Accessorial Calculation:

   • The system dynamically calculates accessorial costs based on the specified quantity.
     

2. Dynamic Buy Rate Adjustment:

   • When the accessorial quantity is modified, the buy rate automatically adjusts to reflect the change in the total cost.
     

3. Base Price Recalculation:

   • When the buy rate is manually modified, the system recalculates the base price per unit, maintaining consistency in pricing logic.
     

Invoice View

The customer invoice will show the quantity, rate per unit, and total cost, providing a clear breakdown of charges.

Cost Per Measurement

You can calculate your buy using the cost per measurement values. These values are linked to the commodity description in the following way:

• Cost per Pound = Buy - Calculated using Weight
• Cost per 100 Pounds (CWT) = Buy - Calculated using Weight
• Cost per Tons = Buy - Calculated using Weight where 2000 pounds = a Ton
• Cost per Piece = Buy - Total Pieces (sum of all pieces of all commodities)
• Cost Per Mile = Buy - Mileage

Once you access the edit pricing from any options, click the arrow to find the calculation options.

Please watch this short video to see how this feature works for you.

Use Default Margin

Changes on the Buy Pricing will carry down to the sell unless you uncheck 'Use Default Margins.'

• This will make it so your changes to the buy won't affect your sell
• If no Margin exists on the shipment, then the Use Default Margins will not be selected
• Changes to pricing can be viewed in the Cost calculation section of the Shipment Profile
