Calculating the pricing weight
Click on Settings > Weight calculation to configure the weight calculation settings.
Opter calculates a pricing weight in three steps:
1. Add up all the dimensionsOpter adds up all the dimensions contained in the order, individually. For example, all load metres for all packages on an order are added together into one total. If you enter a value in a specific field, such as volume, that value applies regardless of what is specified in the rest of the order. If you use extra dimensions, you can have them added together.
2. Calculate the corresponding weightOpter converts the dimensions to a weight in kilograms according to the values you entered in the weight calculation settings. The setting used is selected in the following order:
Customer (exception to price list/office)
Price list (exception to office)
Office (default setting).
After the conversion, the corresponding weight is rounded if you have set this. Read more about rounding below.
3. Use the greatest weight as a pricing weightOpter uses the greatest corresponding weight from the dimensions as the pricing weight. The pricing weight is rounded if you have set this.
Rounding
Weights can be rounded differently depending on their size.
Examples of rounding rules:
If the above rules are applied, it gives the following results:
| Entered on order | Rounded to |
|---|---|
| 0.001 | 0.01 |
| 0.09 | 0.09 |
| 1 | 5 |
| 20 | 5 |
| 25 | 25 |
| 25.4 | 25 |
| 25.6 | 26 |
| 50.1 | 55 |
Pricing weight from package
If you work a lot with specific packages, you may want to make an exception to the above procedure and instead let each package have a separate pricing weight calculated for it, so that these separate pricing weights are then added up. With this method you get a higher total pricing weight, if you use rounding.
How to allow each package to be given a separate pricing weight:
Click on Settings > Weight calculation > General.
Select the Aggregate package pricing weights checkbox.
Click on

ExampleWeights are rounded up to the nearest 10 kg.
1 package weighing 6 kg + 1 package weighing 3 kg normally results in 2 packages weighing 9 kg. The pricing weight would then be 10 kg.
By calculating pricing weight individually, instead we get:
1 package weighing 6 kg = pricing weight 10 kg + 1 package weighing 3 kg = pricing weight 10 kg. The total pricing weight is then 10+10=20 kg.
