Distributing the costs of a consignment shipment

Original shipments that are used to create consignments share the cost of transport for the consignment shipment. The following values for the consignment shipment can be distributed to the original shipments in different ways, depending on how the costs are to be distributed, and what is of most interest in the statistics:

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

No data is changed on the original shipments or consignment shipments when choosing how to distribute the values. Only supplier bills and the figures in the statistics are affected.

The values can be distributed in five different ways:

Equal between all the original shipments.
Based on the pricing weight of the original shipments.
Based on the distance of the original shipments.
Based on the income of the original shipments.
Based on the pricing weight and distance of the original shipments.

Set how to distribute the values

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

Note:

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

Equal distribution between the original shipments

As the consignment shipment often concerns one route that is common to several shipments, the costs and also the other values can be distributed completely evenly between the original shipments. Select Evenly for all shipments in consignment.

Reflect the CO2 emissions of the original shipments

If you want the costs, and the statistics, to reflect the CO2 emissions of the original shipments, the values can be distributed relative to the distances of the original shipments. Select Relative distance.

Mirror the original shipments' shares of the consignment order

If the costs, and the statistics, are to be distributed according to the share of the original shipments in the transport, either By pricing weight or Relative pricing weight and distance can be chosen, depending on how orders are usually priced.

Match costs with income

The costs, and the statistics, can be distributed according to how the income is distributed among the original shipments, thus evening out the financial outcome between the original orders. Select By total order income.

Example

A consignment order contains two original shipments, one with a distance of 75 km, and one with a distance of 25 km, i.e. a total of 100 km. If the consignment shipment has CO2 emissions of 4,000 grams and the values are distributed based on distance, the first original shipment is allocated 3,000 g CO2 (75% of the consignment shipment) and the second is allocated 1,000 g CO2 (25% of the consignment shipment) in the statistics.

The cost of the consignment order, SEK 2,000, is distributed in the same way. The resource on the first original shipment is allocated 1,500 SEK (75%), and the resource on the second shipment is allocated 500 SEK (25%).

The distance for the consignment shipment does not matter as it is the original shipments' relative shares of the consignment shipment that are used to distribute costs and CO2 emissions. That proportion will always be 75/25 for the two original shipments that form the consignment order.
