Allocating the costs of a co-loading operation

Original orders that are co-loaded share the transport of the co-loading order. The following values of the co-loading assignment can be allocated to the original assignments in different ways depending on how you want to allocate the costs, and what you are interested in seeing in the statistics:

costs (also affects settlements)
distance
fuel consumption
CO2 emissions in tonnes.

No data will be changed on the original assignments or the co-loading assignment when you choose how to distribute the values. Only settlements and the figures in the statistics are affected.

You can distribute the values in five different ways:

Equal between all original missions.
Based on the pricing weight of the original orders.
Based on the distance of the original missions.
Based on the revenue of the original contract.
Based on the pricing weight and distance of the original orders.

Setting how to distribute the values

Click on Settings > Consignment types and select one of the options in the drop-down menu Cost split for shipments grouped in a consignment (statistics).

Note:

Even if it says "statistics", the costs are allocated to the settlements in the way you choose. The payment to the resources is thus affected by this choice.

Equal distribution between the original missions

As the co-loading assignment often concerns a route that is common to several assignments, you can distribute the cost, and other values, completely evenly between the original assignments. Select Evenly for all shipments in consignment.

Reflect the CO2 emissions of the original missions

If you want the costs, and the statistics, to reflect the CO2 emissions of the original missions, you can distribute the values according to the distance of the original missions. Select Relative distance.

Reflect the original order's part of the co-loading order

If you want the costs, and the static, to be allocated according to the original orders' share of the transport, you can choose either By pricing weight or Relative pricing weight and distance, depending on how you usually price your orders.

Matching costs with revenues

You can allocate the costs, and the statistics, according to how the revenue is distributed among the original orders, thus levelling out the financial result between the original orders. Select By total order income.

Example

A consolidation order contains two original orders, one with a distance of 75 km, and one with a distance of 25 km, i.e. a total of 100 km. If the co-load mission has a CO2 emission of 4,000 grams and you distribute the values according to distance, the first original mission gets 3,000 g CO2 (75% of the co-load mission) and the second gets 1,000 g CO2 (25% of the co-load mission) in the statistics.

The cost of the co-loading order, SEK 2 000, is allocated in the same way. The resource on the first original assignment will receive 1,500 SEK (75%), and the resource on the second assignment will receive 500 SEK (25%).

The distance of the co-loading mission does not matter as it is the original mission's share of the co-loading mission that is used to allocate costs and CO2 emissions. That proportion will always be 75/25 for the two original missions included in the co-loading order.
