During the rating process, when a rate having a maximum quantity is applied to a pay detail, the system compares the pay detail’s quantity to the maximum quantity defined for the rate. If the pay detail’s quantity is greater than the rate’s maximum quantity, the system replaces the pay detail’s quantity with the maximum quantity defined for the rate. It then multiplies that adjusted quantity by the per-unit rate.

Our sample primary pay rate #791, shown below, is set up for weight-based pay. Notice that 60,000 is recorded in the Max Quantity field. Because this rate is based on pounds, the maximum weight this rate will use is 60,000 pounds.
