Item Rate Charts - Item Break Chart

The Item Break Chart allows you to have different rates for different item quantity breakpoints.
You can access an Item Break Chart from the Item Rate Chart. See Item Rate Charts - New / Edit Item Rate Chart.
Go to Maintenance > Rate Charts.
Click the '+' next to Items.
Click the '+' next to the item rate chart you would like to add to.
Click on the Advanced column of the item you would like to add to.
Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
Item Break | Quantity for the item breakpoint that you would like to have a different rate applied. |
Rate | Rate for the item starting at the item breakpoint. |
Per | Per quantity of items that the rate will be applied to. |
Plus | Additional rate that can be added to the total calculated Item Break Rate. If a negative amount is entered it will be subtracted from the calculated amount. |
Minimum | Minimum rate for the item break. |
Cap | Maximum rate you will charge for the Item. |
Check "Always use next item break if less expensive" to use the rate of the next item break if it is less expensive.
How Does it Work?
The Operations App takes the number and multiplies by the "Per" value. In a tiered rating situation, the rating calculation will not look at the previous rate, only the line specifying the rating for the applicable item break.
Example
In this example, from 5 to 10 pounds the rate is $0.50 per lb, once you get to 11 pounds it becomes $1.00 per lb.
5-10 $0.50 per lb | 11-15 $1.00 per lb |
|---|---|
5 = $2.50 6 = $3.00 7 = $3.50 8 = $4.00 9 = $4.50 10 = $5.00 | 11 = $11.00 12 = $12.00 13 = $13.00 14 = $14.00 15 = $15.00 |
Example - "Plus" Column
In this example, from 0 to 10 pounds the rate is $1.00 per lb. Once you get to 11 pounds, it becomes $1.10 per lb for the additional lbs. However, since the item break process looks only at the line with it's applicable item break, the calculation would be 11 * $1.10 = $12.10. So, we need to enter "-1.00" into the "Plus" column to get the correct $11.10 per lb (offsetting the calculated value to correctly find the rate). This method is used when the tiered rating is intended to "build" on the previous item break rate.
0-10 $1.00 per lb | 11-20 $1.10 per lb without Plus | 11-20 $1.10 per lb Plus $-1.00 | |
1 = $1.00 2 = $2.00 3 = $3.00 4 = $4.00 5 = $5.00 6 = $6.00 7 = $7.00 8 = $8.00 9 = $9.00 10 =$10.00 | 11 = $12.10 12 = $13.20 13 = $14.30 14 = $15.40 15 = $16.50 16 = $17.60 17 = $18.70 18 = $19.80 19 = $20.90 20 = $22.00 | 11 = $11.10 12 = $12.20 13 = $13.30 14 = $14.40 15 = $15.50 16 = $16.60 17 = $17.70 18 = $18.80 19 = $19.90 20 = $21.00 |
