Flat rates, minimums, and maximums for charge-based and quantity-based rate schedules

The charge types used for primary and secondary rates are often set up to calculate charges based on some kind of quantity:

 Mileage

 Weight

 Count

 Volume

 Percent of revenue (for accessorials)

For a quantity-based rate schedule, you can set up the following:

Item	Where it can be entered
Flat rate	 Specific cells
Minimum charge	 Rate schedule as a whole  Specific cells
Minimum quantity	 Rate schedule as a whole  Specific cells
Maximum charge	 Specific cells within the last column in a rate table  Specific cells within the last row in a rate table

Flat rates, minimums, and maximums are supported for primary, secondary, line item, and linked line item rate schedules. They can be applied to orders that are flagged as Rate by Total or Rate by Detail.

Note: By default, the system will not apply minimum charges, minimum quantities, or maximum charges that have been recorded in cells within a rate table. To turn on the feature, see Activating cell-based minimums and maximums.
