Applying a rate to a manual mileage adjustment
The Mileage Adjustment feature works only with rates that use a table that has rows or columns set to Distance (Route). A sample rate is shown here:
In our sample, the charge type is Freight ($/Ton). It contains a table of distances and charges.
The system will adjust the mileage, based on your entry in the MileAdj field, before calculating the line haul charge.
This illustration of the Edit Invoice Folder shows the charges for order 1667 when no mileage adjustment is made.
The rate of $2.09 per ton is used. This is the appropriate charge when no mileage adjustment is made.
When you make an entry in the MileAdj field, the system uses the adjusted mileage in determining the correct rate and calculating the charge.
When 50 miles are added to the 159 actually traveled, the rate changes to $2.05 per ton.
