Price units, window

Economy> Price lists > Price lists > Price items tab > > Add conditions >

In this window it is possible to add price units, which can be described as customised price conditions. The price units get their values from the order. The value can come from dimensions (e.g. weight/volume/distance) or products (quantity/pricing weight). There can be a maximum of two price units in a price matrix at the same time.

Function	Description
Name	The name of the price unit. The name is displayed together with the dimension when selecting conditions in the price matrix (e.g. "KM (Distance)"). The name also appears on customer invoices.
Dimension	The dimension to be charged for on the order. The dimension is displayed together with the name when selecting conditions in the price matrix (e.g. "KM (Distance)"). The dimensions have the following standard units in order reception: [None]: No price is calculated when the price item is used on a service in the price list. This dimension is for price items that are manually added to the price item rows on the order. Distance: kilometres Load metre: metres Packages: quantity Length weight length: kilos Pallet space: quantity Pricing weight: kilos (other dimensions on the order are converted to weight) Note: There must be a weight calculation to convert the dimensions into a pricing weight. For more information, see Calculating the pricing weight. Product pricing weight: kilo (the pricing weights for each product on the order will be separate price rows) Note: There must be a weight calculation in order to convert the dimensions of the products into a pricing weight, and the products must have a weight, volume, pallet space or load metre stated in the product registry. For more information, see Calculating the pricing weight. Product quantity: the quantity of the product (displayed under Products in order reception) Time: minutes Weight: kilos Volume: cubic metres The standard units can be converted a different unit is required in the price matrix than the one in order reception (see Divide value by and the conversion table below). The dimension Driving time in order reception cannot be priced in the price matrix. Copy the value to the Timedimension and use that dimension instead.
Divide value by	The values of the dimensions are taken from order reception in a standard unit (see above). To enter the value in a different unit in the price matrix, for example hours instead of minutes, it is possible to convert the default unit by entering what it should be divided by here. See the conversion table below for common conversions. Default value: “1”. In other words, the values in the price matrix are entered in the same unit as in order reception. If anything other than "1" is entered in this field, it is possible in the price matrix to switch between showing the default value and the converted value with the Show {0} instead of {1} checkbox.
Lowest unit	The lowest value to which the dimension is rounded. Works in conjunction with Rounding type below. See the conversion table below for common conversions. For example, if there is a daily fee of SEK 9,000, and you want to charge for each 8-hour period or part thereof, enter "0.33" here and select Up for Rounding type.
Rounding type	How to round the values of the dimension. Works in conjunction with Lowest unit above. See the conversion table below for common conversions. Down: The value of the dimension is rounded down to the value entered for Lowest unit. Default: The value is rounded according to standard rules, but if the decimal is 0.5, it is rounded to the nearest even integer. 5.1 kg > 5.0 kg (normal rounding) 4.9 kg > 5.0 kg (normal rounding) 4.5 kg > 4.0 kg (nearest even integer) 5.5 kg > 6.0 kg (nearest even integer) Up: The value of the dimension is rounded up to the value entered for Lowest unit. Select this option in order to charge for each unit started, such as each hour started, each tonne started and so on.

Conversion table for dimensions

The table below gives examples of how to set up some common price units in order to use a different unit than the one used in order reception. For example, time is entered in minutes in order reception, but it might be desirable to enter the time in hours in the price matrix. Or enter the weight in tonnes in the price matrix instead of kilograms.

Unit in the price matrix	Dimension and unit in order reception	Divide value by	Lowest unit	Rounding type	Results
Quantity	Packages, units	1	1	Up	Number of packages (at least one) charged.
Tonne	Weight, kilos	1,000	0.1	Up	Each started 100 kg is charged.
100 kg	Weight, kilos	100	0.1	Up	Each started 10 kg is charged.
10 km	Distance, kilometres	10	1	Up	Each started 10 km is charged.
100 km	Distance, kilometres	100	0.1	Up	Each started 10 km is charged.
Miles	Distance, kilometres	0.62	1	Up	Each started mile is charged.
Hour	Time, minutes	60	0.25	Up	Hourly rate, but each started quarter of an hour is charged.
Half hour	Time, minutes	30	1	Up	Each half hour or part thereof is charged.
Quarter hour	Time, minutes	15	1	Up	Each started quarter of an hour is charged.
