Documentation
Definition
The bulkiness group determines the bulkiness factor or minimum weight for shipping units within the shipment costs calculation process.
Procedure
The bulkiness group is determined as pricing determination is carried out using the condition technique. The standard default for this process is condition type 'SP00'. In this way you can identify various bulkiness groups using dependencies that can be set flexibly (service agent or a combination of service agent and shipping type, for example).
If you want to determine a bulkiness group using a separate condition type, you should ensure that the relevant condition type is placed in the pricing procedure from the beginning. This ensures that the bulkiness group is available for all subsequent condition types.
Examples
Minimum weight
You have made the following agreement with your forwarding agent:
- Freight calculation will be made based on the shipping units to be transported (pallets, wire basket). The forwarding agent defines a minimum weight for certain shipping units.
- During calculation, the actual weight of the shipping unit is compared with the corresponding minimum weight. The larger of the two is then used as the basis for price determination.
- A minimum volume or minimum length may also be defined instead of the minimum weight. The scale basis in the scale defines which of these sizes will be involved in the calculation process.
Bulkiness factor
You have made the following agreement with your forwarding agent:
- Freight calculation will be made on the basis of the weight to be transported. Prices depend on the corresponding scaling.
- For goods measured by volume, the following measures are taken:
- Volume (in liters) is divided by 6.
- The resulting number is then compared with weight and the larger of the two is then used as the new weight.
- The calculation is based on this new weight.
