Price list calculations can be set up based on a Fixed Amount, Formula or Price Table. Each calculation method has additional metrics that will be used to calculate the final price.

This article will look at the options available when using the calculation 'Fixed Amount' as the basis of the customer price list.

When creating a new price list, if the new price list is to be used 'for all customers', set the toggle 'on'.

If the toggle is 'off' the price list is for a specific customer, or set of customers and you will need link the customer to the price list.

Add metrics / options

Select the calculation method 'Fixed amount' and in the 'Apply per' drop down there are 2 options:

  • Per Order

  • Per packaging type / product

Calculation Per Order

This option will assign the price allocated in the 'per unit' field to the total order. The order will automatically include the Transport Charge set in the price list.

Calculation Per Packaging type / Product.

This option calculates based on the 'Product Type' associated to the order. This is based on products setup in the configuration for the order input.

This DOES NOT calculate based on the number of pieces on the order, ie: # of pallets. To calculate pricing this way refer to PRICE TABLE calculations.

Example 1: 2 consignments, with 2 different product types included in the order. The rate applies the 'Per Type' and calculates the amount based on the number of product types on the order (2).

Example 2: 3 consignments, with 1 product type included in the order. The rate applies the 'Per Type' and calculates the amount based on the number of product types on the order (1).
